Last Meal Contender and a 40…

July 10, 2008

Today’s my birthday (thank you very much), and for dinner, I went to a spot in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood called Wood Tavern. It’s pretty bougie over there in Rockridge, and I’ve read some pretty great things about the restaurant in the local press, so I was kinda counting on it to be tasty. It was way more than tasty, was fucking awesome. Seriously delicious.

I had a couple of tequila-based (and pretty damn strong) house specialty cocktails; a summer bean salad with fresh herbs, finely grated parmesan cheese and truffle oil; and a double cut pork chop (above) with corn, peas, peppers, potatoes, and some kind of Italian cured pork cheek, in a stock sauce (I forget what exactly the pork cheek and sauce were called). Absolutely amazing.

Oh, also, I got the simple audio player going here, so here’s the latest edition of my bi-monthly rapcast, The 40 Oz Show; if you like it, you can subscribe to it in the iTunes store’s podcast section (it’s FREE…) or you can download it from GurpCity.com. Enjoy…
