My first visit to Eric Bahn’s new restaurant, Monsoon East:
Crispy imperial rolls with kurobuta pork, shrimp and glass noodles- delicious!
Oxtail pho with waygu brisket and flank steak- awesome flavor with the richness of oxtail meat!
Caramelized Idaho catfish claypot with fresh coconut juice and green onions- the photo (left, claypot plus imperial rolls) will give you an idea of how delicious this was!
Even the door (photo top) is gorgeous!
RSS SubscribeWelcome to Family Meal, a blog that examines all things new and noteworthy in the world of food, wine, and dining.
At family meal, otherwise known as staff meal, there’s no hierarchy; you’re breaking bread with your friends. For those 30 minutes, everyone is equal- and hungry. Family meal is our version of the water cooler- but with better food.
I’ll be sharing my thoughts, tips, and observations, and, in the spirit of family meal, I’ve invited our creative, energetic staff- everyone from line cook to bartender to bookkeeper- to have a say. I hope you’ll add your own comments and join in the conversation.
