I shoot with a 35mm f1.8 lens from Nikon that performs amazingly under low light situations. If you own a Nikon body, then I highly recommend purchasing that lens.

I am in the midst of writing a How to Take Kick Ass Photos in Restaurant post that I hope to finish in the next couple of months. Please look out for that!

How did you get your photos to turn out so brightly? Was it because the clocks hadn’t been set back for an hour, and it was still bright outside when you and the Astronomer were dining together? Just wanted to hear your advice on snapping photos in dimly lit restaurants–hope you can help! Thanks :)

I’ve heard such great things about Blue Hill and your post confirms it. Like you, chicken isn’t the most exciting of meats to me but hats off to them if they can make it amazing!

So many courses, such great attention to detail, I especially love that you can just tour the farm… or did you have a special invite for that?

M and I thanked V and S profusely for recommending it. We had the celebrate the ph.d. and anniversary dinner there — you’ve reminded me of the glory that was that meal. You’ve done a beautiful meal justice!

Those baby burgs, the edible rice paper wrapper (appeals to the japanese rice candy lover in me), the salads, the lobster, etc. A classic post. I’ll definitely read this WHEN not IF I go here.

I will be out West in December though, and I already want Mexican.

I love this post-beautiful meal and beautifully rendered description/photos. One day I will outsource the produce of my farm to you and you can enjoy fresh local food every day. You are willing to live with me in Montana, right?
