Kombucha

Multi-Green Kombucha

It looks a bit like New York City sewer water might after the Zombie Apocalypse.  But, after a sip or two it’s oddly addictive and “interesting”.  There’s a seriously sharp, vinegary bite.  And, there’s quite a bit of harsh IN YOUR FACE (and tickle your nose) super-carbonation that [...]

Sichuan House

Crispy Lobsters

Chopped into good-sized pieces, deep fried and topped with crispy garlic and shallots… you wanna talk about finger lickin’ good.  This is it.  We weren’t going to let those delicious droplets of lobster scented oil go to waste.

Saffron Rock Candy & Tea

This will make a lovely accompaniment to this weekend’s morning tea… or coffee.

East Pearl

Fried Dungeness Crab with Crispy Garlic & Pork

This dish was just about perfect.  It was billowing steam as it arrived to the table.  All of the crispy bits were crispy while the crab on the inside remained tender and moist.

Bread @ White Windmill Bakery

Buckhead Bread Company and Alon’s are our go-to spots for bread.  But, we were happily surprised by this French style loaf from White Windmill Bakery.  The crust was still crisp when we arrived home.  But, by dinner time it lost its crunch.  Luckily, we were using this loaf as the bread [...]
