Laduree - The finest macaroons in the world

Prior to having the best macaroons in the world I wasn't a fan and didnt understand the hype. After standing in line for nearly half hour and waiting to taste these special beautiful things. I am now converted.  Besides the location in New York I will never eat another macaroon again from all the other posters.

Red Stag Grill: Asheville, North Carolina

Unfortunately you can't tell but the menus light up in the dark  The decor was absolutely beautiful.  I was under dressed but this lovely restaurant is located in the Grand Bohemian. So dress up! 
Try the tasting menu if your looking for variety.  My only suggestion with the tasting menu is the lobster salad. Less mayo,  lose the walnuts and add tarragon. The filet mignon was perfect.  Another suggestion, lose the potato cake and do a scalloped potato.  Other than that its a very solid menu and worth eating at. Loved it! 

Tupelo Cafe : Asheville, North Carolina

Black eye peas in my breakfast! Again.. it works. Their homemade biscuits are a must and the ambiance is welcoming.
Asheville is one of the most romantic places to visit. With quaint cafe's to picturesque scenery if you're a hopeless romantic this is your town.

The Flying Biscuit : Charlotte, North Carolina

Who would've known that the Southern Scramble would steal my taste buds.  Unfortunately the Flying Biscuit isn't in California but whenever I'm in Charlotte I'm so there. Collard greens,  turkey bacon and eggs.. really? ! Oh yes..  it works.  Can't wait to go home and make my own rendition.

Umami

Nothing beats their savory truffle burger. Hands down the best gourmet burger place in Cali. My favorite location is their Studio City location...chic! Everything that I have had on their menu has been delicious. I'm digging this place more than Father's Office. From their meat to their condiments everything is crafted with deliciousness.

My sister's prime rib.

There's nothing like a prime rib for the holidays with creamy horseradish.

Sorry for my absense

I have returned from my travels
