I won't have time to blog this week, so here's the food porn from my birthday dinner at Pearl to keep you interested. Suffice to say that it was exemplary in all respects and has me thinking of a post on the provenance of a restaurants ingredients and how thy affect the dining experience. In Pearl's case they the suppliers are listed on the last page of their menu, such is their confidence in the quality and reliability of their produce. Bravo!
