Hey BDM, did your wife write this? I only ask because you are referred to quite a bit and it's definitely not written in your normal vernacular/style. Also, what's the name of this place? Sounds like they're big fans of "bacon wrapping," but hey, who can blame them? EDIT: I'm a complete idiot and didn't read the title before commenting. I was taken here via chatter and not my feed. Sorry. The meal sounds really nice though. Way to go Brian, you're apparently still a good date. EDIT 2: briandmyers, you should definitely get in on the #grubski challenges. I think you'd dig them.
Yes, I swiped it from her facepage. We went to the French Cafe in Auckland. This meal was her birthday present to me, I turned 51.
Looks nice. You went beer, no cocktails eh? I tend to start with a cocktail and then go beer/wine depending on what I'm having. The place looks really nice and the menu, upon first glance sounds great. Again, and this time with emphasis. I think you should join in the grubski challenges. Use some of that homemade honey! Do you enjoy cooking? Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Beer was fantastic, I had two. https://untappd.com/b/bannockburn-brewing-company-killarabbit/541632
