The Bazaar @ SLS

So I'm just going to jump right into my new blog... It has been a long time coming and I've decided I need to do something with all my "food fotos” that I capture at restaurants, bakeries, cafes, bars, cafeterias, sidewalks and any other establishments that offer flavors for the palette. For Valentines Day, Jon and I were lucky to get reservations at the new restaurant/bar/patisserie concept at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. The Bazaar by renowned chef Jose Andres has been getting quite the hype lately and I wanted to see what it was all about!

Jon and I got to try the tasting menu of the night: Sweethearts Lovingly Share. We started off at Bar Centro for a drink - left Malibu early thinking we'd hit LA freeway traffic yet arrived at SLS in record time - and moved on to our table a bit later at Rojo y Blanca. At the bar, Jon opted for the special nitro daiquiri, which was being made on a cart that was traveling the floor. The Spanish-style small plates had super modern twists - the chef specializes in molecular gastronomy - which made everything fun to eat and easy to savor. The most interesting plate I tasted was the liquid olives, they literally popped as soon as I spooned them into my mouth. Take a peep at our magical Valentine adventure...
