The Eatsdropper really likes hippie food
Yesterday's excursion to Napa was not solely for the enjoyment of the turning leaves on grapevines, though that was a lovely fringe benefit. We met up with an old friend (well, she's not old; she's younger than us ... you know what I mean.) whom we hadn't seen in a number of years. We met up at the Oxbow Market, which she referred to as "the poor man's Ferry Plaza." I didn't see any poor men there. Nevertheless, after perusing the various shops, such as Whole Spice Company, pictured above, we had a lovely lunch at the Oxbow Wine Merchant.
I love watching the fashion parade of both tourists and locals at places like this. I didn't catch any new Eatsdroppers, but if you've heard anything lately, be sure to shoot it over to me at eatsdropper-at-seantimberlake-dot-com. Cheers, mate!
Russian chef: "Rhonda, do you have this?"
Rhonda: "Yes. Piece of cake"
Chef: "Piece of cake or piece of s*** because this could go either way right now"
Chef, after checking everything: "Good ... It is cake. You will live another day. No Siberia for you."
