I love holiday dinners!

December 18th, 2009

My girlfriends and I have a Holiday tradition.  Instead of buying each other more "stuff", we instead get all dressed up and go to a fabulous dinner!!  We always have sooo much fun!!  This year we went to Jose Andres' Bazaar at the SLS hotel in Los Angeles.  Being huge foodies we are always looking to go somewhere a little different.  This restaurant is dedicated to the dining experience!  It's all about molecular gastronomy which is using science to cook food in a different way.  We had a fabulous time!!  Here are some pics of the wildly inventive food there:

This is one of the drinks we got.  They use liquid nitrogen to freeze this drink table side!  They top it with some edible flowers and lime zest!

These are "olives".  They are olives that have been liquified and then solidified in calcium.  They explode in your mouth!

foie gras on a stick wrapped in cotton candy!

Caprese Salad.  Again the mozzarella is made the same way as the olives.  They explode in your mouth!

Those are some highlights of the meal!

So grab your girlfriends and create your own Holiday dinner traditions!
