OB: Recent Food Pics! Amsterdam + Napa


Recommended Posts

Went to Africa with wifey on the way back decided to stay 4 nights in Amsterdam. Great Place it was our 6th time visiting.

Ok ok.. everyone thinks people only go to Amsterdam for 2 reasons, pot & prostitutes but thats not why we visit. :atsg_smilie_pot:

We love the food, people, shopping, and culture there.

I posted our Safari in the GTI blog, Amsterdam I'll post right here, we visited a variety of places some old favorites and others from Anthony Bourdains Layover episode.

I also have images here from our recent visit to Napa.

Below: Amsterdam's got some amazing wall art!

The French Laundry in Napa, second time there and both times only 4 out of the 10+ courses were awesome. It's less about flavor and more about execution here. I don't recommend.

Thomas Keller does have a new spot that I would suggest going to called Ad Hoc, Every other monday is Fried Chicken night. Best I've ever had. It better be for 50 bucks a plate..lol

Auberge Du Soleil: Our #1 favorite hotel & restaurant in all of Napa! If you go to Napa stay and eat here! It's tops and ask any local they will tell you the same! They just earned their one star but I liked it better than 3 stars.

Bloody Mary Mix from Scratch...

Chris,

We go to the French Laundries little brother, same owner called Bouchion they also have a bakery next door. Both are very good and much more reasonable.
