Earlier this month, I met up with my old school, fellow former new wave lovin' friend Pam aka Daily Gluttony
for a Summer lunch at Cube Marketplace and Cafe in
West Hollywood. It was a splendid formal reunion of sorts since we hadn't
really seen each other in many, many years with the exception of a brief encounter
at Urban
Spoon Happy Hour a month before. When deciding on places to meet,
we both had yet to dine at Cube, and heard lots of wonderful things
about it, so it was the obvious choice.
Fourme D'ambert with Montepulciano Jam
You wouldn't guess it from the outside, but Cube is a triple
combo of a contemporary cafe with a strong Italian, California
influenced menu, a cheese bar with over 85 varieties from
around the world, and a gourmet marketplace where you can stock up on
everything from wine, cookbooks, antipasti, and kitchenware.
Heirloom Tomato & Fresh Peach w/Mozzarella
Oxtail Ragu Pasta
The food was delightfully fresh, full of flavor and fun to photograph. We
also had fantastic service from Shane aka The Supper Hero. With camera perfect
day lighting, Pam brought along several of her cameras and I toted my
point and shoot. I'm usually the only one photographing food at the
table, so it was fun comparing notes, and photos with a fellow food shutterbug.
Black Truffle Mozzarella Pizza with Fried Eggs
