Grace: Second Teadebris Dinner

Our second restaurant to visit will be Grace, a snazzy place located on Beverly Boulevard in Mid-City. Yelp seems to have some rather nice reviews up, but per fledgling tradition, one reviewer on Zagat says:

"A great neighborhood destination. As you arrive, the stylish decor will set the tone for your evening making you feel like one of the beautiful people you are dining amongst. Chef Fraser will delight you with his talents. Leaving you wanting to return for more visits with his ability to offer such fantastic seasonal fare. Knowledgeable staff helps making food and wine decisions easy. All in all if Grace is not on your short list it's your loss"

Table for Six

Success!

Teadebris inaugural dinner at Pizzeria Mozza was delightful.



Pizzas consumed:
- Gorgonzola dolce, fingerling potatoes, radicchio & rosemary
- Funghi misti, fontina, taleggio & thyme
- White anchovy, tomato & hot chilies
- Coach farm goat cheese, leeks, scallions & bacon
- Tomato, extra virgin olive oil & Sicilian oregano

Desserts devoured:
- Caramel copetta with Spanish peanuts
- Cioccolato, bittersweet chocolate cake

I wish I could post on the wine, but I really don't know what I drank. We left it up to the waiter and he did a fine job of pairing it with our pizzas. Amanda also discovered her love of pouring "vini al quartino" (~ 250 ml ~ a glass and a half) out of mini decanters.

I've proud of all who took a leap of faith and tried the white anchovy pizza. Some liked it (including me) and some were happy they didn't have to eat all 4 pieces of it. The spice, salt and sour combined into a glorious piece of pizza. I heard garbled "yums" through chewing over the Funghi misti pizza as well. Mushroom lovers unite!



I believe the caramel copetta was the favorite desert. The crunch from the crispy "base" (not quite sure what to call it) was fun against the smooth caramel gelato and salty/sweet peanuts.

Lastly, the conversation flowed with the wine. The range spanned from recently read books to Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno. A proper Teadebris was defiantly had by all.
