Farmer's Apprentice

I don't know if you know this but David Gunawan kills it. As in slays it real hard. And I know that I am pretty late on the Farmer's Apprentice train but there is no doubt in my mind that I will be back and that I will be checking out Royal Dinette asap. We went heavy on the seafood but the veggies blew it out of the park for me. 

I don't have time to properly blog anymore so this will just be a brief synopsis.

• Date Night. 
• Babysitter.
• Walk across Granville bridge. 
• Somehow get slightly lost.
• No, "directionally confused".
• (It's in a unexpected and unpretentious spot).
• Bottle of wine.
• Close yer eyes and point to anything on the menu and order it, it will be good.
• From that first bite I was blown away, and it was a friggen cucumber. 
• From that first bite of farm fresh cuke with salty foam I knew I'd be coming back. 
• (Or it was a sign of things to come - HEYO).
• I am pretty sure I was moderately embarrassing to be in public with: taking photos of every dish, raving about every single morsel of sablefish - warm octopus salad - or gnocchi that went in my mouth, and oooing over the little herb garden. 
• #tipsy. 
• No but seriously, the gnocchi was somehow crispy and light and buttery smooth all at the same time. 
• #cabridehome.

The aforementioned cucumber dish.

Dungeness crab salad.

Gnocchi with zucchini. This one was my favourite.

Octopus salad.

Sablefish.

How To Do Date Night

Step 1. Shave your legs. This can be assisted by pre-drinking in the shower to save time.
Step 2. Put on shoes that say, "I'm wearing fancy panties".
Step 3. Eat an amazing meal, like the kind available at Andrea Carlson's Burdock & Co. on Main Street.
Step 4. Have a couple shots of tequila when you get home. The good kind.
Step 5. Makeout times.
