A Birthday at Uchiko

I think Jennie and I must have celebrated my birthday at three or four different restaurants. One of them was Uchiko, definitely a top choice for their awesome people, great atmosphere, and creative dishes.

If you look to the left you can see Chef Phillip Speer's rather amazing dessert that night. You're looking at a cold carrot soup pouring out of an edible molded egg shell that I cracked open with a spoon. Interactive dessert -- I love it. I'll never look at carrot cake the same way again.

You can see a few more of my photos here.

Thanks to Uchiko for sendiing out a few complimentary treats from the kitchen!

Thanks! I want to say it was white chocolate, but I don't remember for sure. I'll have to ask Jennie.
