Re: Why You Need to Take 50 Coffee Meetings

I'm a huge believer of the notion of ABR. It's so critical for the entrepreneur. I've also witnessed that the most successful career moves are the ones folks make after they've spent many months/years building relationships. Like ABLFAJ.

I agree with you Loic. Even though the food is great in San Francisco, I just don't think you can beat Paris. 24/7, amazing quality... it's incredible. Just the pleasure to go to the butcher, buy some pate, then fresh bread, and you're in heaven!

you are actually covering the fish, but because the oil is not hot, it's not frying. you should see some small bubbles coming out of the fish but that's it. in case the oil gets too cold, put it back on some heat just to get some temperature up.

i bought this one at golden gate meat (the one in the ferry building by hog island oysters). it was actually very good, but i have a hard to find rabbit as good as the ones we find in France.

i use different methods. my favorite is with a white wine sauce. i brown the rabbit, then reserve. then, de-glaze the pan with white wine. then brown onions and carrots. then put back the rabbit and the rest of a liter of wine. add bay leaves, thyme, and garlic, and let it simmer until cooked. another way to do it is to use mustard. in this case, i just cooked it extremely slowly i a clay pot, uncovered.

yes - been to Kokkari, and really didn't like it. It's pretentious, too big and the food was very average. I should probably try it again. I haven't been to Boulevard yet (but i really want to) so I couldn't put it on my list.

about Mezes, it's actually really good and I think it was one of the best meal I had in the city. Now, remember, I'm married to a Greek lady, so I may be influenced there :)

That's usually the problem with wine. Kind of crazy what you may end spending vs the quality you get!

Go there for a drink or two but not for the food. Then go to fish bowl for more drinks. And finally lions to finish the night :))
