A quick bite to eat with The Daves before Wednesday's reading at Books Inc. produced a surprise gem: Angela's Bistro and Bar (2301 Central Ave, Alameda). Lunch was quick but excellent: the duck strudel (duck comfit with mushroom and wild rice wrapped in puff pastry in a shallow pool of cranberry wine sauce was followed by the shrimp risotto.
Risotto, by the way, never translates well to photographs. Kinda looks like maggots in a cream sauce, as you can see:
It rarely tastes like gruel (Angela's risotto was excellent but the goat cheese risotto from Chicago a year ago was the heinous exception) but always looks like it!
