Before the dessert, Menes pulled out a plate of gooey cheese he'd made himself from organic cream and infused with truffles. The dessert itself involved a different kind of truffle, the chocolate kind, dunked in beignet dough and fried crisp, a dessert that was halfway between three-star cookery and a county fair stunt. It was good if you didn't think about it too hard, an ideal end to dinner at a restaurant I was not sure I would ever see again.

^_^ Thanks for mentioning LQ + us (and the act of "scratching" our Crispy Tofu Balls.. I actually haven't used that reference before too). Quick FYI (if anyone or Jonathan cares), we are in fact the Tran family.. and my first name is Nguyen! :) My first name is pronounced w/ different inflections than the last.. but no matter. We will assume the identity of the "Nguyen family" today haha ;)
Great write up on Gary Menes' place. I'm hoping we can try it before he ends his run.
Team SK (aka Tran, Nguyen ;D)
