Birthday Dinner At Allswell

On Tuesday I had a super great dinner at Allswell with great food, great drinks, great friends and a great birthday cake (made by Yeh herself). Thank you everyone for making this week so freakin awesome!

Lemon Chess And Derby Pies

So how did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? I spent the day with few friends eating pies of course. It was also a prelude to my birthday week celebration (yes...birthday week). Which ever pie you get at Four & Twenty Blackbirds make sure to get a dollop of fresh whipped cream and which ever pie you get....it will definitely be delicious. Though I do have my favorites and they are usually the chess pies. Always creamy, always good.

Birthday Burger

Where would I be without my friends on my own birthday? I probably be grumpy and alone and eating my dying asparagus. Birthdays do not have to be elaborate or showy. All you need are friends (and a boss) to surprise you with a container of breakfast items from an Amish Market. Then your boss goes out to buy you a Doctor Who mug, yeh! Then followed by an impromptu burger and fries eatin, beer drinkin and conversations filled with laughin. And it wouldn't be a proper birthday without gettin some ice cream while huntin down Harry Potter because he's shooting a movie in the neighborhood.

Things like these make me grateful for what I have and where I am at now.

Whitehall

I'm a huge fan of Chef Chris Rendell and his team. I had an incredible meal at Mary Queen of Scots last year though sadly I haven't had the chance to dine at Whitehall yet. Yeah I know I suck.

I want to say a big thank you to Chef Chris Rendell, Chef Ryan Butler and their team for letting me into their kitchen and snap some photos. Also thanks to my friend Danielle, she works for Chef Ryan Butler, for helping me out with setting up the shoot.
