The reason that the Japanese beer tasted like Budweiser is because they both use rice as a primary ingredient. Budweiser basically poorly imitates a good Japanese beer.

Doug: I think you can…since I did that to WD-50.

In regards to the foie macaron, I guess Chef Humm is using the same idea as his foie gras appetizer: adding a fruit jam to foil the foie.

thanks ;) – i just eBlushed.

I couldn’t even taste the fois gras as it was masked by some type of fruit jam.

I wonder if you could go to EMP just for dessert (perhaps after eating a burger at shake shack).

Giulia: Oh, you must try both things/places! They’ll change your view on sweets.

Kathryn: Thanks for your suggestions on WD-50. It’s just too bad that my dining companions weren’t too keen on trying out the creamsicle…

Christine: You should check Esashi out. It’s pretty darn tasty sushi there.

Doug: Oh thanks, Doug! You should go to WD-50! It’s awesome…as you can tell from my review.

Yeah, I saw your EMP photo at Facebook. Did I mention how adorable you and your significant other are? Anyways, I read their dessert menu that had macarons! O.O Gah, I want them!

Foie gras macarons…it’s crazy enough for me to try it. I think Robyn mentioned that Pierre Herme makes that flavor…?

stupendous as usual Tina.

I really need to try WD-50.

I was over at Eleven Madison Park recently, they served some wonderful macarons with dessert -

and to beging, a savory variety made with fois gras.

I found your sushi photos on Flickr, and I was hoping they were from nearby! I will have to make notes of these places and check them out next time in the city.
