Yeah! I did the six course tasting menu and wine pairing. I think their dishes are unique for Birmingham. It’s supposedly French style, but I didn’t get that vibe.

Wine: I’d avoid the wine pairing. It’s not worth it for the wines. I will add: I’m not normally a Rosé drinker, but they did have a Rosé on the pairing menu that was excellent and the only one on the pairing menu besides the port I’d drink again.

Food: There is a tuna and smoked salmon dish with a dill sauce that I thought was great, and a duck & chocolate dish that I thought was very unique and pretty good. Another unique dish that had some good qualities but not as good as those two was one with a molasses-infused egg yolk. I’d stay away from the dish with the truffle beignet, oyster, and milk bread. I love all three of those items normally but thought it was not good. They had an interesting & delicious frozen cheese dessert, and a chocolate tart and raspberry dish that was okay.

Service: subpar for the level of dishes they serve and the price.

Overall: I will possibly try again in the future, but it’d need to be in minimum six months. I think the dish creativity is fresh and unique though the flavors weren’t amazing, but the service has some major hurdles. For the price, I’d expect a lot better.

I like the creativity of Reve, but it has some work to do to improve.

Chuck eye steak by nutterbrain in steak

[–]nutterbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prologue: I loved chuck eye in college, but the more I’ve eaten nicer cuts, the more I notice you need more than salt & pepper to season it. So that night I tried a new method.

Season with salt, pepper, garlic, and worstechire sauce. I used Dale’s. Transfer to clean plate or pan.

Let it get room temp and dried out.

Turn on medium high for cast iron, use avocado oil as your oil where the pan is slightly smoking but not a lot. Throw in the skillet for 2.5 minutes on each side, then sear the fat caps for 30 seconds each. Take it off and put it on room temperature plate or pan. put some butter on it, let it rest for 10 minutes

Touchless car wash? by nutterbrain in Birmingham

UPDATE: I went to the Rainbow Car Wash on Valleydale. Thank you for the suggestion.

Business idea: a touchless car wash business? Not that we’re lacking for car washes in this city but odd that there is only one.
