Splurge Alert

Sometimes it's worth blowing your well-earned cash on something special, and on August 30th, I will be spending mine on a fabulous dinner at Saison with Eric. Saison is a new restaurant located in the Mission that "is a place where one can come and dine on the finest local bounty and where wines are poured with the same care as a Michelin starred restaurant yet be totally at ease in a casual environment. We have decided that we should remove the unnecessary frou-frou and provide what is most important to us in a dining experience." The food is all local and organic, as are the wines. I'm SO excited, and a review will definitely be posted on the 31st (I'll be in a food coma until at least Monday).

And actually, compared to what we would pay for a similarly amazing meal at almost any other highfalutin restaurant here in SF, $90 for a four course meal with wine paring is a straight-up deal.
