I’m mildly obsessed with Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc in Yountville, CA, and got on their email list so I can get the menu sent to me every day. This is a form of torture in many ways because some of the menus sound so incredible that I want to drop everything and start driving to Yountville, even when I know I can’t.
The goal of this archive is twofold. First, it can help people remember the details of a particular meal they had at Ad Hoc. Also, this archive can also help people get an idea of the types of meals Ad Hoc serves and maybe even whet their appetite a little bit.
Here’s some Ad Hoc food porn to give you a better idea.
