Birthday Nosh

One thing I'll miss most about Dallas is the FOOD! If we had all the money in the world Weston and I would definitely spend the vast majority of it enjoying yummy food.

My foodie friend Brooke had been raving and ranting about a fantastic place called
Nosh. So when Weston's birthday came around we decided to give it a try. Per Brooke's recommendation, we requested a seat at the Chef's counter and ended up having one of the best meals and most fun dining experiences ever.

Being at the chef's bar was like being inside an episode of a Food Network show. We watched them prepare gourmet food, got to know the people next to us, and even snacked on some free munchies- courtesy of the chef. Our food was amazing!

Here's what we had:

A look into the kitchen from the chef's bar

Appetizer: Kobe Beef Meatballs on a crostini

My food: Braised Veal Cheeks with Black Truffle Grits and Brussel Sprouts

Weston's food: Crispy Duck Confit with Leek and Cauliflower Mash

Banana's Foster Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

We also had a Lobster Bisque Soup and Lobster Fritters (not pictured). Everything we tasted was amazing! We were able to watch them prepare most everything on the menu and it all looked fantastic. I was especially intrigued by the mac and cheese and the foie gras and chicken liver paté.

My Recommendations:
Make a reservation
Sit at the chefs counter at least once
Check out the chalkboard (that's where they write their daily specials)
Ask your waiter for recommendations
Have fun!

It really was a great experience! Go check it out and let me know what you think!
