All vaxxed up, we finally made our triumphant return to @zahavrestaurant last night, and I even got to see my buddy @mikesolomonov. The format was a little different, but it was as delicious as ever. I think the 16 months since my last visit is the longest I’ve gone between meals here. We were welcomed back with a selection of salatim and two types of hummus, the Confusion of Tongues cocktail, their amazing halloumi, crispy sweet potatoes with French onion labneh, steelhead trout crudo, Bulgarian kebab, pargiyot (chicken thighs with crispy chicken skin on top), Persian rice, the pomegranate lamb shoulder that may be the best single dish in Philadelphia, and malabi and pistachio cake to finish. A few things aren’t pictured; apparently I’m out of practice in low-light situations where the food is coming out hot and fast. But man it was good to be back.

Went for a long walk with @ktgoeshiking and ended up at @cedarpointphl for an outside lunch. Buffalo cauliflower caesar for her, chicken cutlet sandwich with caramelized onions for me. Looking forward to being up to doing this more often in a few weeks.

Got some burgers today with @eh_o.k at @therailyardwv. He went with The Pale Flame (marbled Jack, ghost pepper sauce, flaming shot of Wild Turkey) and I had The Tenpenny (gruyere, broiled prime rib, shallot, white truffle cream, and gold leaf). Both were above and beyond what I’d expect to find in Bluefield, WV.

I don’t usually post my own food, but I made four pizzas tonight and I’m really happy with all of them. Clockwise from top left: sautéed mushroom melange with taleggio and black truffle; Brussels sprouts with salami and pickled shallots; combination pizza (mushroom, pepperoni, green pepper, mozzarella); caramelized broccoli and red onion. Top two are white sauce, bottom two are red sauce.

Stopped by @curdiologist because there isn’t much else to do in Love Valley, NJ. This is also probably the most traveling and eating I’ll do for a while. Picked up some pieces of the tartuffo, smokey shepherd, Szechuan, and Valley Thunder clothbound cheddar. All are excellent.

Ride recovery. Follow me for more cycling tips.
