Girl and Goat in Downtown Los Angeles

Thankfully we have friends who enjoy food as much as we do and like trying new things, so they reserved and planned everything we just needed to show up.

Birthday Dinner Le Petit Chef at Hyatt Regency in Mainz

I don’t remember where I had seen this but it was obviously something I wanted to try and understandable during the pandemic it was likely not going to happen. But as things have opened up, I had a thought to see if these dinners were still happening and lucky enough they were and had something available over my birthday weekend. So we booked a table without much hesitation.

Acetaia in München

Because of the pandemic it has been hard to eat out especially in the last few months due to the every changing regulations. However we decided to treat ourselves, head to the city and try a new restaurant.

Pierre Sang on Oberkampf in Paris

My last trip to Paris I had tried to make a reservation at one of his restaurants but didn’t have the time to go. My dad had gone to Pierre Sang’s restaurant on Gambey the week before and really enjoyed it, so we decided to try the one on Oberkampf.

Arpège in Paris

Somehow by luck and much help from someone who has connections, we were able to get a table on a Friday night. After watching the Chef’s Table episode I was very curious to taste and experience the dishes by Alain Passard.

Tian in München

We were looking for a nice restaurant to take my parents while they were here visiting us, but many of the top restaurants either take a holiday break this time of year or were already fully booked. So upon looking at other michelin recommended restaurants, this upscale vegetarian restaurant caught our eye.

Zebulon in Paris

My brother and dad had gone to Pirouette earlier in the week and they really enjoyed the food there. My brother then found out that they have another restaurant near the Palais Royal so my dad and I checked it out on our last night in Paris.

Kato in Los Angeles

As my time in LA was quite short, we decided to go out for a family dinner. My parents had ate here a couple months ago and quite enjoyed their dinner, so my dad thought it would be nice to go and try it again.
