brunch today

Hi Folks...sorry running late today. Mom's rushing for some role she gotten for an acting job...ya...acting job. Tristan s driving us mad crazy cus he just stomached 2 bottles of vitagen n is complaining of tummy pains. He's not too happy this morning cus we ran out of pan cake mix...ooops! :-) Its 10:14 now.and we're to open at 10:00. Its ok I guess, normally people wudden start flowing in till 10:30.....
Today, I a little excited to feature three ingredients that I love myself.
First off .....GUANCIALE which is an Unsmoked italian pork cheeks or jowl.
No.2......Lardo....cured strips of back fat with pepper and rosemary....melt in the mouth
No.3.....Radicchio Variegato....I ordered it because I was attracted to the color....Yellow with red stripes. Sweet beginnings n bitter ends....sounds familiars?? Or is it the other way round?

Our table tops have finally arrived n the place looks a little together n alot more warmth. The front of the shop feels like u can just chill out with a bottle of wine, some cold cuts, cheese, a lemon curd tart....n just waste the day away. Photos will be posted soon.

BEAUTIFUL HALIBUT

Just received my Halibut this morning.  Handling the fish for the first time. It will be this evenings offering so if you're a fan of this fish or its your first time.... :-)
The flesh looks really delicate. Its can be good as shashimi I think. Pan frying it will ...I dont know...not do the fish justice... I'll try slow cooking it slightly under.
Some pics:






this wud be my favorite part
