The meal sounds terrible, but a couple observations:
1. Why would you go to Italy and eat in a restaurant like this?2. Going to a tasting menu in a foreign country and asking for a bunch of changes to accommodate your dietary restrictions is something, for sure.3. They should have served that dude's hair as a course.

Smiled at seeing the Snoqualmie Lodge called out in the Bros article's comments. Haven't ever been there for dinner, but thought the pampering spa/hotel environment, adjacent Snoqualmie Falls, Twin Peaks association, and the pancake breakfasts are the main draw. One of the Trip Advisor reviews gives it one star for "filet minion" left unfinished, lol.

Best food writing 2021 for sure. I guess this is what happens when one of these baby Alineas hits the COVID skids?

Foam is so '00s, even the places that used to do it have toned it down.

Also, the Michelin guide sucks bad.

wasn't Michelin-rated, but nothing made me laugh more than the time Gordon Ramsey on the UK version of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, went to this restaurant that had won local awards and was exasperated by the shitty dishes concocted (including salmon and strawberries).

Also, savory ice creams have been all over modernist menus for 20 years. Get with the program.
