No way! You went to the Orangette restaurant? Looking forward to the post!
i love the postcard! i hope you are having fun
can’t wait to hear all about it!
This is a very cool site and love all those recipes..want to try all of them!
teaser?
I hope you had a fabulous time. Can’t wait for your review. On a recent trip to Seattle for a postdoc interview, I dragged 4 local friends and my boyfriend to Delancey, and they were duly impressed (as was I). I have just recently discovered your blog- thanks to a link via bonappetit.com for your review of the Donut Man– I am a fellow Pasadena resident (Caltech grad student) and enjoyer of food (and long time Orangette fan), and I have been delighted to read your reviews of the local food scene! I intend it to guide diversity to my recently stagnant eating habits. Will you be going to her book signing in LA next week?
Jillian - Delancey was nothing short of fabulous. Everything was lovely and delicious from start to finish. That’s awesome that you live in Pas and attend Caltech. Vernon (The Astronomer and my fiancee) is also a Caltech grad student. Stop by and say hello to him if you’re ever near the plasma physics lab. Book signing? Uncertain. Wish she were coming to Vroman’s instead
ooh, cool pic!
Debutante Chocolate? Yum. Seattle rocks – really. Looking forward to the post.
