The restaurant waiter walked in and bowed in front of Chen Mo.
"Serving." Chen Mo crossed his fingers, sat down, and said.
Everyone in the private room looked at Chen Mo curiously.
Ellie is not as docile as she is in front of Chen Mo. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a little wild cat.
But today it seems shocking. Is this the usual Ellie boss?
Opposite Chen Mo, an Asian boy with acne looked at Chen Mo and said in Chinese: "Chinese?"
"Yeah." Chen Mo smiled: "My hometown is Shuzhou, how about you?"
"People from Southern Province."
"In this way, we can be considered fellow villagers." Chen Mo said with a smile.
The waiter brought the aperitif and appetizers...
Chen Mo raised his wine glass: "One of the three greatest joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign country. Here's a toast to you."
"I'll drive later."
“In the San Jose area, restaurants provide free drop-off service, and there are also paid drivers.”
"Okay." Zhou Feng and Chen Mo clinked their glasses, looked at Ai Li, and then looked at Chen Mo with a smile: "Brother, you are so awesome."
Chen Mo looked confused.
Ellie glared at Zhou Feng fiercely: "Eat something. I feel so bad about this dinner. Would you like to try it..."
The aperitif is just a small glass.
The appetizer is a vegetable salad, including small tomatoes, lettuce, large cherries, etc.
Chen Mo looked at Ai Li with a smile: "It's pretty good. After you try it, you'll like it."
"Yes, I like it here." Ellie tasted the cherry tomatoes with a coquettish smile on her face.
"Come here often."
Ellie almost vomited blood...
As expected, there is no way to communicate if we are not in the same class, which is troublesome.
The appetizers are a combination of vegetables and fruits, as well as half a lemon.
Chen Mo picked up a lemon and squeezed it for Ellie, dripping lemon juice on top of the salad.
"I like sweets, not sour ones."
There are only a few appetizers, and you can finish them in one bite.
"Put some lemon on it to taste. It's delicious."
Others imitated Chen Mo's method, and it was indeed an appetizer, which whetted one's appetite.
Then a snack was served, pan-fried cod.
The fatty part of the cod is a small square piece, fried until golden on all sides...you can eat it in one bite.
Dougson came in with a bottle of Screaming Eagle Winery's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, a playful smile on his face, and made an invitation.
"This wine..."
"Private gift." Dougson smiled and said, "Please check."
"Have opened everything to check for something."
"Hahaha..." Dougson poured the wine into the decanting container.
Such wine should be poured into a decanting container in advance, but you can still drink it by opening the bottle in advance and pouring it into a decanting container...
"I saw it just now. Why don't you introduce this beautiful lady to me?" Dougson looked as ambiguous as a friend.
"Ellie, my girlfriend."
Ellie's heart was pounding, and she quickly stood up: "Hello, Mr. Dodgson."
"Hello." Dougson poured red wine for Chen Mo and Ellie, and handed the decanter to the waiter: "I hope I didn't disturb you. Enjoy your meal."
"Mr. Dodgson, can I take a photo with you?" The fat boy holding the rose just now seems to be named Jimmy.
"certainly."
Jimmy came over excitedly: "You are my idol."
"It's my honor to be your idol, thank you."
Then several more people asked to take pictures, and Dodson satisfied them one by one before saying goodbye and leaving.
"Dougson, a very famous chef, why is he here?" Jimmy posted a blog post in a boastful manner.
"You didn't see the photo of Dougson outside the restaurant. He is now the chef of this restaurant." Jimmy's love rival, the tall boy, said.
"That's great, I will come here more often in the future."
"It's better not to dream about your income."
"It shouldn't be a problem to come here once or twice a month."
After the snack, there is a vegetable soup. The soup base is made from bone broth. It is a clear soup with a strong vegetable flavor.
"It's no wonder it's Dougson's restaurant, it's so delicious, even the appetizer is so exquisite." Jimmy praised it without hesitation, and then took a photo and posted it on the blog.
The side dish is a specialty of California, spiny lobster, also called California lobster, an East Pacific lobster mainly distributed from Monterey Bay, California to the Bay of Tehuantepec, Mexico.
The meat of this kind of lobster is quite delicate and has a sweet taste.
In fact, everything here is relatively mediocre. The lobster is served as a side dish to the main course, mainly to bring out the tender taste of the charcoal-grilled lamb chops...
Next is the main course, charcoal grilled lamb chops.
"It tastes really good." Ellie took a taste and gave a thumbs up.
All the appetizers are designed to set off the main course, and the first bite will be unforgettable.
"It's okay, it can only be regarded as so-so." Chen Mo shrugged.
"You are so demanding."
“Bright beef tomahawk steak is delicious.”
"That's a legendary delicacy. I've only bought one piece in the supermarket. It's so hard to eat." Jimmy said.
“In May, you can eat at this restaurant.”
"Really?"
"Of course. Dougson and I are friends..." Chen Mo raised his wine glass and clinked it with everyone.
"Then I ordered it in advance...it's such a terrible drink." Jimmy complained.
Someone described it this way: For ordinary wine consumers who are not senior wine enthusiasts... the more expensive the wine, the harder it is to drink.
But if you drink too much good wine, your understanding of wine will be different. It will rise from a simple taste experience to an overall sensory experience. In addition, expensive wine will give people a pretentious pleasure...drinking wine
What you drink is not the taste, but the feeling of superiority.
It's like driving out in an uncomfortable supercar.
Ellie showed a super exaggerated expression: "I drank the taste of money. Is it the flagship wine of Napa's super famous winery?"
The year before last, Ellie followed Chen Mo around Sonoma County and Napa County for more than a month. She tasted not only a thousand but also eight hundred wines... It seemed that there were more than a thousand wines, many of which were expensive wines. This one
The little girl deeply remembered the taste of money in wine.
Especially wines from Napa Valley, expensive wines all have almost the same characteristics, including balanced wine body, complex aroma, and complex layers.
Chen Mo really didn't want to show off, but his strength didn't allow it.
Chen Mo shrugged, cut a piece of mutton chop, and stared at Ellie: "You have a great mouth, you can taste the taste of money."
"That's right, not only do I have a great sense of taste, but I also have a keen sense of smell, and I also have a very high vision..."
A group of people laughed.
"This is 2012. Screaming Eagle." Chen Mo laughed.
"Wow."
"Don't worry, the wine Dougson sent is free of charge."
"That's good. Hehe..."
I have a headache. This woman must not take her to too high-end places in the future, otherwise she will be annoyed to death... But why do you say that in the future?
After the meal, everyone sat in the private room and chatted for a while, then dispersed.
