How is the tasting menu (will it take 3+ hours to complete the experience)? TIA!!

I always liked any risotto they did. The pork belly is great. I love the lamb. Their cheese plate is always good. I've never had a bad meal there. I live on the east coast now so I'm completely jealous. Have a great time! Mon Nov 02 21:35:33 -0800 2009 5148926 178216 neener41 1 5151204 Cheese plate and sashimi plates are solid. But I am sure both change often. All in all, Nine-ten is a solid restaurant in a beautiful location. Food isn't mindblowing, but very respectable for the cost. I think the kitchen closes pretty early.

He cooked a grilled pork loin with a warm potato salad, and I must say it was a winner. With some of the other chefs floating around that day, Jason more than held his own.

I saw a video of the event on San Diego News Network blog that spent a lot of time with Knibb and his dish: http://www.sdnn.com/sandiego/2009-11-02/restaurant-food-wine/celebrate-the-craft-a-favorite-culinary-event-for-chefs-food-lovers-alike Wed Nov 04 13:08:40 -0800 2009 5155189 154091 pickypicky
