Well having gotten tired of the traditional Spokane
Big Pile O' Meat diet, I decided to go 180 degrees and
enjoy some gourmet nouvelle cuisine.
Here I am enjoying a nice juicy steak and a pea salad.
The Sriracha hot sauce was of course dripped onto the
plate mainly for presentation purposes.

:lol::lol::lol:I never did get nouvelle cuisine. $$$$ for not enough food to feed a hamster. But the plates were always prettily decorated!

Indeed! I wondered that myself.
There are a couple scenes in Bret Easton Ellis's novel American Psycho where he hits the expensive nouvelle restaurants, and of course describes them in detail. Ellis's point in that and I think most of the book was the vacuousness of an almost narcissistic materialism. And that was the real "psycho" aspect of the book — not simply the murder spree of a psychopath.They have a new restaurant here that evidently is rather nouvelle oriented. I wouldn't mind trying it just for the novelty. And it's expensive. Think I'll stick with my noodles at Thai on First. 🙂

But why the portions had to be so skimpy, that just has to be a totally aesthetic choice. Unless they were hoping that with small portions like that they'd have to order multiple entrees — i.e. $85 x 5.

Spam, anyone?:lol::heart:
@ Star.Hmmm. Nouvelle spam. I'll have to work on that one. :lol::heart:

Darko, I'll have you know that is a prime center cut steak in which all the less tasty portions have been removed to provide the ultimate beef eating experience.:p
