one of the best meals ever.
Lesley and I had my employee (voucher) dinner at mas on wednesday night and it was the single best experience I EVER had as a diner. Here is the menu and wine pairing...I've been promoted to entremetier and the trail is going ok...I sweat tons and work my ass off. Trying to keep it smooth...
