Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday! Hope you all enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend. I had the most awesome meal this past weekend at Per Se. As one of only five 3-star Michelin rated restaurants in New York City, there has of course been a ton of positive press about Per Se. But did the meal live up to the hype? Well, based on my rating, I’m sure you can guess what I thought of it…

It was, indeed, absolutely amazing – one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever experienced! I partook in the 9-course chef’s tasting menu, which changes daily. I could describe how I felt about each of the courses, but “Wow, this was seriously incredible” x 9 would get old fast. So I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy!
