Zvi Galil at One Market restaurant in SF
Zvi Galil came to town to speak and we were able to grab a meal with him at One Market in San Francisco this evening. There is nothing like seeing friends from Columbia University — where I worked for a number of years before moving West — and sharing some memories and laughs. By the time Zvi was photographed at One Market he had been wined and hors d’oeuvred at the Presidio by the folks hosting the Columbia group. That didn’t stop him from grazing at this meal; Zvi has an appetite second only to my mother. We enjoyed the food and the service was swell, but I was too engaged in social activities to take notes.
This is what I have planned for V-day this year: surf & turf. I’m not sure how I’ll prepare the lobster tails — most likely some sauté pan action and then butter and lemon. The oh-so-flavorful ribeyes will be done in a grill pan. Salt and pepper. That’s it. I can’t haul out the Weber so the grill pan will have to do. Add twice-baked spuds and some spring mix and we’re there. Hope he likes the iPod. Hope he doesn’t look at the website today. Hope his coworkers do and laugh their asses off. Oh, one more thing: please don’t rag on me about the feedlot beef. My back is still bothering me and one-stop shopping at Costco was, to quote an excellent episode of The Twilight Zone, “what was needed.”
