This past weekend, I headed out to Napa Valley to visit Steve J. Steve's working at a fancy schmancy restaurant out there, and luckily I got to eat at this place.

Se llama Terra, y la comida fue riquisima.

Here's what I ate:

Appetizers:
Panko Crusted Miyagi Oysters on Pork Belly "Kakuni" in Black Vinegar Sauce

Foie Gras Tortelloni in Game Sauce with English Peas and Chanterelle Mushrooms


Main Course:
Braised Veal Cheeks and Sweetbreads on Potato Cheese Fondue with Asparagus

Dessert:
Rhubarb Crostata with Rhubarb Soup and Rose Panna Cotta

Chocolate Bread Pudding with Sundried Sour Cherries and Creme Fraiche


Tiramisu


Peach and Strawberry Sorbet with Coconut Tuile


I wish I had taken pictures...

Anyway, this was by far the fanciest dining experience I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Foie Gras? Unbelievable...

After Steve finishes culinary school, wins Top Chef, and becomes a world-renowned chef, he has promised to let me eat at his restaurant whenever I want... I'm excited. Hahaha...
