Of the many unexpected pleasures I've received from this blog since I began it several months ago, perhaps the most gratifying have been the positive comments and well-wishes not only of friends, but also from quasi-friends, those people I know but haven't really spent much time with, for whatever reason. I've discovered that food and wine (or, at least in this case, sharing experiences about food and wine) really does help bring people together. So when my poker buddy Mike S., who has become a Frequent Reader of This Blog, asked me if I'd be up to go to a restaurant with him for a special meal, I not only jumped at the chance, but Mike and I discussed, and now we're inviting you, FROTB, to join us in this, the first Every Meal A Feast "Gathering".
And what a special meal it's going to be! We're off to Incanto Restaurant in San Francisco for Chef Chris Cosentino's special Il Quinto Quarto, or Fifth Quarter, tasting 
menu. Consentino, who has a special love of "offal" meats (he even has his own web site, OffalGood.com), prepares a special menu using those "lost cuts" which traditionally mainstream American has forgotten (or never eaten in the first place). A sample menu might include pig's feet, fish maw, lamb liver and kidney, and chocolate blood panna cotta. It's going to be a feast not only for the senses, but also sharing among friends. (Hey, it might just be Mike and I, and you know what, that's O.K.). So if you're interested, here are the details:

I have to admit: I can't wait until your next post after visiting 'Il Quinto Quarto' in the city. I'll be waiting to read just what you guys had to eat. You know, there's a reason why those meat are 'not used here in the United States' but then again, maybe the Chef has these awesome concoctions that are just begging to be eaten. We'll see...Just keep us posted (pun intended:)
This sounds like TOO MUCH fun. Let me check my schedule and get back to you.

I will definitely keep all FROTB "posted" on my Incanto adventures.
Incanto huh, well...I'll check your blog for sure after the weekend just to see what trouble you all got into. Please take good notes of the menu,ingredients but especially the meats that you'll be eating. I'm most interested in that!
Yo, throw that 11--I wish I could make it. Hmm, wonder what a plane trip tick costs from TN????
