The Amazing Culinary Adventure on Highway One: 💥Two Restaurants that Will Dazzle Your Taste Buds!

This weekend's short trip led me to discover two amazing culinary treasures on Highway One, satisfying my taste buds perfectly! ❤️ 1. La Bicyclette Restaurant: Located at Dolores St & 7th Ave in Carmel-By-The-Sea, La Bicyclette Restaurant was a delight to visit. We walked in around 12 PM on Saturday and had to wait for about 45 minutes. We took a stroll around the area and came back for a delightful meal. Here's what we ordered: - Soup Du Jour: The carrot soup of the day was rich and creamy! 🥕 - Champignons: The mushroom and black truffle pizza was simply stunning. It changed my perspective on pizza, even though I'm not usually a big fan. The flavors lingered on my palate. 🍄 - Squid Ink Pasta: Delicately flavored with seafood and complemented by homemade chili oil, this pasta had a rich and satisfying texture. 🦑 - Salted Caramel Budino: This dessert was an exquisite combination of chocolate pudding, almonds, caramel, sea salt, and blueberry sauce. It was an unforgettable taste experience. 🫐 - We also took away a Salumi Pizza, which was delicious despite being a bit salty. 🍕 2. L'Escargot: A Delicate Culinary Journey in a French Restaurant Located at Mission St & 4th Ave, L'Escargot was a French restaurant where we made a reservation in advance. Although the place wasn't crowded, it served us the most delectable French cuisine we had on Highway One. Here's what we ordered: - Snails Two Ways: We chose the garlic butter snails, served with bread and crispy pastry. They were tender and flavorful. 🐌 - French Onion Gratinee: The classic French onion soup was rich and hearty. 🧅 - Beef Wellington and Scallops: The daily special recommended by the chef. The beef was ordinary, but the scallops were absolutely stunning. 🥩🐚 - Chocolate Brownie: The dessert was a bit too sweet for our taste, so we can't particularly recommend it. 🍫 This culinary journey brought me an unforgettable taste experience. If you're traveling on Highway One, make sure to visit these two restaurants! They are definitely worth exploring and indulging in! #CulinaryAdventure #HighwayOne #LaBicycletteRestaurant #LEscargot #FoodieLife #FoodieTravel #TasteBuds #DeliciousEats #MustVisit #FoodExperience

Is Every Olive Oil Rancid or Did Samin Nosrat Ruin Me? 🫒

Ever since reading Salt Fat Acid Heat, I can’t shake the feeling that every olive oil I taste is just… off. Samin’s story about her chef calling out rancid oil and describing that waxy, crayon flavor has haunted me for months. I’ve bought everything from the cheapest HEB bottle to a $35 imported Italian one, and even tried a couple of Texas brands. Every single one tastes like melted crayons to me. I’ve checked the pressed dates, expiration, and always pick dark glass bottles. Still, nothing tastes right. Maybe it’s the South Texas heat roasting the bottles in transit, or maybe my taste buds are just broken. Then it hit me: I quit smoking and started allergy meds last year. Maybe I can finally taste and smell things for real now, and what I’m picking up is just the reality of mediocre oil everywhere. Or maybe Samin just planted a seed in my brain that’s grown into a full-blown olive oil paranoia. Either way, I’m on a mission now. I’ve ordered some Graza and I’m planning a trip to a local olive ranch. If that doesn’t fix it, maybe I’ll just stick to butter. Food shouldn’t be this complicated, but here we are. #oliveoil #fooddrama #tastebuds #kitchenadventures #Food knowledge
