Gastronome Abound
Over the weekend, we celebrated a cousin's birthday by eating and drinking at the Brazilian churrascaria, Fogo de chao, in lovely downtown Baltimore. I'm not usually the one to offer a restaurant review. So I won't, and I'll leave it up to CapitolSwell or even OnoCoffee to jump in with their takes. All I can say is that's a lot of meat. Seated next to these gastronomes the talk drifted of going to Spain and starting a little café. They thought Barcelona. I thought otherwise. The city on the tip of my tongue which I couldn't get out that night was San Sebastian. I think of that place more and more because of the surf and the wild Atlantic that it abuts. Not to put down Catalan whose hot and sexy Mediterranean feel would be welcome any day this cold winter, but I think adventure would wait in the Northern climes of Spain. Anyhoo, I read this piece in Slate today about astonishing number of fine restaurants in the city of San Sebastian. Seems to me to be the place to be. For food. And the surf!http://www.slate.com/id/2178875/entry/2178877/

San Sebastien – I’ve was there for a week for work in January! I liked it, although the entire week was raining and snowing (and people still were at the beach). Stayed at a hotel overlooking the beach and ate some great food – great pinxtos from some shady bar in the basement of one building down the street, and plenty of other eats in and around town. The seafood was great…and there wasn’t a restaurant we ate at (for 3+ hours) that wasn’t a great meal. I’d like to go back in the summer (with Blue Ryder in tow of course!) to really be able to explore and enjoy the city in good weather.
