I work at Omnivore books some of the time, and the new Ad Hoc book is truly one of the most wonderful books on our shelves. I'm glad to see you had such success! Perhaps I'll see you this weekend at the festival!

We ARE getting old. I didn't mind cooking, but you should check out the dinner party we went to the night after this. :) http://bit.ly/24RuPm Phil, yeah…our Ad Hoc obsession sort of prevents us from trying out some of the other places in the area. :) I also know that if I was back in SoCal, there would be a few places down there that would get repeat business from us. :)

I think it's the first year it slipped by me. Perhaps it's the old age catching up with me. I'm glad to hear you were able to enjoy your birthday in style. However, next time why don't you get someone else to cook for YOU on your birthday...lol. Happy belated birthday Arnie! I think it’s the first year it slipped by me.

What a great plate of food you put together. Very well done, and I'm jealous of you and your immersion circulator. We live in Orange County, so we only get a chance to eat at Ad Hoc once a year (when we're in Sonoma/Napa on vacation). That's 3 trips to the restaurant. You guys have been there 30 times? I'm depressed. You're lucky to live where you live. Great stuff. Keep 'em coming! Man, this is gorgeous. What a great plate of food you put together.

I'm so very envious (went to Yountville twice and we skipped Ad Hoc because we were too full from French Laundry!) The egg dish looks spectacular, love all the flavors and textures going on. The skirt steak looks delicious too. Can't wait for this book (or better yet to eat at the actual restaurant), which is in the mail somewhere... 30 times to Ad Hoc!?

It's like the perfected onsen tamago. God, I'm tempted to eBay an immersion circulator just to make 'em. The 63° egg is gorgeous. It’s like the perfected onsen tamago.
