I'm late. I'm sorry. Interim presentation this week. Apologies.
So like 5 days ago now or something, another group of 10 adventuresome diners headed out to enjoy the cooking of yet another Iron Chef America star, Bobby Flay, at his highly regarded Mesa Grill outpost.
The dinner started out, as all good dinners should, with the establishment of some ground rules for the evening: there was to be no discussion of the World Cup Final (in which Italy triumphed over France to become the 2nd winningest country in World Cup history...you know, for those that missed it); and there would be no discussion of politics either (like what is the US doing in...um, never mind).
As this meal was part of Restaurant Week, each Intern got to make an appetizer, entree, and dessert selection. Some of the more popular choices included the Shirmp and Asparagus 
Taquito, Fire Roasted Chicken, and Yellow Corn-Crusted Chile Relleno. I think it is fun to say "taquito."
This week's group included a nice mix of Restaurant Tour vets - Erica Breckner, Cassie Walls, Mina Chang, John Paasonen and Lawrence Cho - as well as some newbies - Samantha Sugarman, Chitra Agrawal, Mike Mendelson and David Sims.
