He definitely has something new, cool and funky going on with the hair highlights.

Drooling (and laughing - captions are hysterical) as I watched it. And not (just) over his hair - the food looks amazing too!

Enjoyed my Golden State “En Voyage” meal tonight. Just terrific. Will post my usual crappy photo later.

(edit: Photo and my thoughts are up on the July 2020 Rundown thread now…)

Providence is selling A5 Miyazaki Wagyu for $6.19/oz. It’s a crazy good deal considering how they go for $30/oz regularly at every high end restaurant.

$99/lb. What cut?

Probably striploin like every other restaurant that sells A5.

Between those awesome videos and the amazing takeout itself I am having serious FOMO on Providence. Plus they keep changing their menu! Soon hopefully…

Everything was great, the standouts for me were the bread, succotash, and harry’s berries tart.

That tart is THE dessert to spotlight the glory of Harry’s gaviotas.

Probably because they were using a combi oven which has convection.
