Someone’s got a case of the Mondays…
Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and did not spend it working/inside with a cold like I did. I’m sure you all went out and got wrecked like normal, functioning human beings…
This past Friday, Dane and I went to one of our favorite restaurants before going to the theater The restaurant is Sampan, a fantastic foodery created by sexy chef, Michael Schulson. I was a little apprehensive about going to Sampan since my switch to the glutarded lifestyle. I figured their use of soy sauce would drastically limit my choices and hinder my experience. I would rather remember it as it was. A glorious place full of savory delights and scallion pancakes as far as the eye can see.
Once we arrived, I could see that I was wrong. The server was extremely pleasant and brought me their dedicated gluten-free menu, which had many of the same selections that I would have ordered from the regular menu.
When you go to Sampan, you will have the option of ordering ala carte, or from the $45 tasting menu. The tasting menu is 7 selections from the regular menu (yes, ANY 7!), and soft serve ice cream for dessert. It’s the only thing I ever order so I was so glad we could do it in glutarded style.
For the value, the tasting menu is really where it’s at. Dane and I had so much food that we didn’t even know what to do with. I highly recommend this for my fellow glutards. I think they actually gave us larger potions this time. Maybe they felt bad for the poor glutard and gave us more of everything else to make up for the loss of hoisin and bao buns…
After dinner, we finished out the evening by seeing the incredibly funny, Janeane Garofalo! She was in town as part of the live show and podcast, Risk! The show features performers telling true stories that range from the light-hearted to the seriously dramatic. Check out their website to learn more about the show and it’s performers.
How was your weekend?
Glutardedly Yours,
~Tim
