food snob alert.
i know this is hard to believe, but i have nothing to do tomorrow night. so, tonight i insisted that b be social with me. he joyfully complied (since i put it on his calendar on monday,) and we went to harry's bar and tables. happy hour lasts until 7 and includes half-priced wine. in my opinion, you can't really go wrong with half-priced wine. so that was good. the food, though, was another story.
the guac was gross and was considered a "special of the house." and then we ordered the yellow-tail. which was way too well-done and ahi-like. so, we sent it back. in its place we ordered crab cakes. the cakes were good on their own, but the accompaniment of cooked spinach and bacon was bitter, and an odd choice. simply, it didn't "marry well" with the richness of the crab cakes.
and i haven't even mentioned our socially awkward, military-esque waiter who would come check on us and then say, "as you were."
so yeah, i'm glad i had sushi from bumblefish for lunch. and chocolate cake for lunch dessert. otherwise, i'd be starvin'.

Did you have Chad's birthday cake for dessert? Because it was incredible.

If you like crabcake, I recommended McCormick and Schmicks and/or 40 Sardines.
Personally I would punch my best friend for a crab cake right now.
