Guess who’s back in sunny California??!
Kevin’s back in town for Pigs & Pinot and it’s going to be a blast! If you don’t remember we pretty much became bff last fall when him and Eli came in town for a Murphy-Goode Top Chef event and I kept crashing their hotel breakfasts at Hotel Healdsburg (what, I love their granola!). I’m actually going to a couple Pigs & Pinot events this weekend and I’m totally stoked about it. Lots of good eatin’ this weekend, fo’sho 
So, I picked him up from the airport and we decided to get our Indian on at Dosa. Everything was SO good…I don’t even know what all we ordered or what I ate, but here are some fun pictures.
This much food is clearly not for the faint of heart. And what better way to cap it off than with a delicious Blue Bottle cappuccino?
The weather is SO NICE OUTSIDE!!!!!!!! I think there are some wine tastings in my future this afternoon (yes, I’m starting the weekend a wee bit early) and then Scopa tonight. Lots more pictures to come…stay tuned!

FYI, you had (in order):
rasam, chaat (a generic term for this variant of snacky Indian food), vadas with chutney, dosa and something unknown to me. It’s a crazy coincidence because I happen to be making part of one of those very items for dinner tonight! Looks fabulous

That Indian food collage is insane! Your selections look really fresh and light, not too heavy with sauce or oil. Have a great time! Looking forward to the extraordinary food filled recaps!

Jealous(PERIOD).
Gah! that food looks amazing… what were the little puffs?
Man, your blog always makes me SO hungry. Time to start thinking about dinner!
holy crap…need indian food in my life right now
holy moly, that food looks good! i’ve never seen those little-puffy-crispy-thingies before, but i bet they were great!
hey!! Awesome blog, I’ve been reading it for a while now!!! I live a few hours down from you on the coast, (santa barbara/slo area). So cool to see another california girl on the blogsphere!!
OMG! I haven’t been there. Looks SOOOO good and from little slice of view out the door looks like might have been in my fave Fillmore St. What a great weekend you have planned!
Aahh I can’t believe you’re friends with Kevin! I believe he totally should have been Top Chef last season — hes awesome! I’m seriously considering making a trip down south just to go to his restaurant! Tell him I say hi
Jealous! It’s good to see his smiley face again. Have fun!
Wow, all of those dishes look amazing!
So awesome you know Kevin! The little puffy things are called pani puri – you stuff them one at a time with chickpeas, the potato mixture, sometimes yogurt, and then fill them with a sweet/sour/spicy mint based liquid and have to eat them right away. Delicious!
Aw how fun! I’m totally jealous!
I love pani puri! I’ve had some great pani puri here stateside, but wow, the pani puri in India is just amazing!
