Meet Frank the Tank

On Friday night I had the serendipitous experience of eating at Addison for the second time. As the French-nouveau restaurant at the heart of The Grand Del Mar, Addison is one of the few places I have been where I truly understood how food preparation could be considered an art form, and the only place I've been where butternut squash, mustard, carmelized apples and crispy shallots really do taste good together.

The best thing about this restaurant, though, is not the five-star dining but the way that the staff actually make the wine experience fun...
