After a morning spent wine tasting, it was definitely time for some carbs. And when you find yourself in Napa, you obviously want to eat said carbs at Bouchon. Obviously. Until you find out they're fully booked, with at least an hour wait for a table. And your tour guide said you have to be back in 2 hours. ...Damn it! Not a problem, I always have a backup plan. Ad Hoc is just a short 5 minute walk away. Just long enough to help you start to crave that next glass of wine. Perfect. Until...DAMN IT!...you find out they have an hour and a half wait. Who's gonna serve me my parmesan polenta now?!
Oh, that's right, Michael Chiarello will. God I love that man. He can really do it all. He can write cookbooks, he can compete for the Next Iron Chef. And he can make me Parmesan Polenta with Caramelized Wild Mushrooms. And when I've cleaned my plate like a big girl...
...I get a prize for being so good. And I love prizes! Especially when my prize is Red Wheat Tagliarini with a Veal/Pork Bolognese and Mushroom Sugo.
Do it Michael. Do it!
