Finally Ate at St. John Restaurant

I was lucky enough to finally get to eat at St. John on September 21 with a group of co-workers. I had a couple of opportunities previously and had to cancel for one reason or another. We did not get the suckling pig this time around so that gives me a reason to go back. This is close to the most "British" food I have eaten while living in London and for the most part it was very good. Others seem to think so also because it held on to its Michelin star again for 2011. My whole life my parents have been encouraging me to try new things and I guess that I fought that for so long that now I view it as a major accomplishment when I actually do expand my culinary horizons. I tried marrow for the first time and was delighted I took the dive. So much so that I went back for a second scoop of the succulent goo.

This is not my picture but gives you a good sense of the atmosphere:
