Republica. Ten course meal. It was pretty mind-boggling. The owner also got my wife and I hammered on mezcal.

Probably better than the dried crickets the Vietnamese feast on. Good job marrying above your paygrade btw!

The white stuff that looks like cotija cheese was puffed pork fat. it evaporates into a puff of flavor as you eat it

My mom would’ve asked the waiter “do you have tobasco”? lol

She looks great for 48. I, on the other hand, look like an old fat beaten mule. I’m perpetually baffled that she’s wanted to stay with me for the last 26 years
