Evoe

Had lunch today with Jeff as well as Alicia of bread-and-honey at Evoe. The sun was beaming right into the main table, but by the time 1:30pm rolled around, no longer were the rays directly beaming into the room, and it became very comfortable. We split the plates, placing two orders of the splendid deviled eggs, an order of the fennel, artichoke and guanciale salad, some oysters, the marcona almonds, and splitting a croque madame.

Everything was delicious, and the croque madame was particularly noteworthy. The almonds were also the best I'd had in a long time, well seasoned and surprisingly chewable, which I think is just me being used to particularly "tough" almonds. On ordering the fennel salad, Kevin (I believe) went into Pastaworks and came back seconds later with a bulb of fennel and an artichoke in hand.

If you manage to make it out to Evoe, be sure to check out the homegrown chanterelles. They've got a loaf of bread that has somehow been inoculated and is growing some really gorgeous mushrooms.
