Recovering Vegetarian: Latah Bistro Salmon Click it!

I lost my meat-virginity at Luna almost one year ago to a tablespoon of salmon. Ever since then I have not eaten fish.

I went to Latah Bistro last week and ordered my second piece of salmon since childhood, and it was wonderful. The cherry sauce over the fish and vegetables added a great blend to my uneasy feeling about trying fish again. The flavor was so intense my taste buds were blasting off.

Overall, the whole experience was very unusual to me, particularly the complex texture of the fish. I managed to work up to eating about 2oz. Chef David Blaine did an amazing job.

I certainly am adding Latah Bistro to my list of places I am willing to experiment with meat eating again.

Thanks for the positive post. Your curiosity was rewarded. I was a vegan for 15 years and even though I still prefer veggies I now eat meat thanks in part to the wonderful creations by DB and our other food artists. I like what Michael Pollan says in his latest book, In Defense Of Food :
“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” Hope to see you again soon.
