After the Nutcracker we went to a new restaurant that just opened a block or two from the ballet. It's called Boloud Sud, and seriously it was the most amazing food I've ever eaten in my life. This sounds weird and cheesy, but genuinely I didn't know food could taste like that. It was AMAZING. We had a great octopus salad that was amazing, an amazing steak, and amazing sides. There were even some things I looked at and thought they looked weird, but then I'd put a spoonful in my mouth and be blown away by how delicious it was.
I've kind of told myself that expensive restaurants are a waste ever since going to this place in Chicago with a firm Marc summered with. This restaurant was supposed to be the greatest thing. The Obama's apparently had this place's chef come out and cook for them and it was supposed to be great. Anyway we went in and the waiter started describing all the food, and he kept using the weirdest things to describe it. Like he'd say, "Oh this dish has a really earthy taste to it, you'll taste a lot of deep green tastes coming out and great texture." What does that mean??? Anyway when the food actually came out it was OK, but TINY.
Boloud Sud was delicious, and there was a lot of it. It really was the best meal I've ever had, and it's kind of changed my opinion on fine dining. At one point during the meal Marc looked up at me and said, "Crap, rich people's lives really are way better aren't they?" Haha. I will save my pennies to go back to this place, or to any of this Chef's restaurants. Amazing!
