I'll have a glass of salad, please.

Seeing as how there is no news on other fronts, like the Crazy Fat Chick epic or the baby-making (just add jizz and stir!) journey, I thought I'd take a detour and tell everyone that if you've got a couple hundred bucks to toss around, then I think you will like.... Hey, Internet, do you know what this picture is?



Take a guess. Seriously, guess what this is. Go ahead. Guess. REALLY, give it a go!

Give up? Annoyed? Both?

It's salad, I'm not kidding. In fact, moto called it "Greek salad, again," and it was my favorite of the ten courses we ate at that hipster hangout, although the S'mores was a close second (the S'mores course sparked a somewhat heated discussion of the relative im/politeness of bowl-licking).

But I digress.

The Greek salad, again was just a shot of clear liquid, and that dot in the middle was (methinks) olive oil. The idea was to shoot it (or maybe sip and I was just really thirsty at the time and didn't understand the directions). I let it sit in my mouth for a while, and I can honestly say that I was surprised by a beverage. Because that beverage didn't look anything like V8, but it sure did taste like tomatoes and cucumbers and a little bit of saltiness and, well, like salad.

Pretty cool for a salad course. And pretty nifty for a restaurant whose laser was out of season. I mean, really: How can a CLASS 4 LASER be out of season? It was, unfortunately, so we didn't get to eat food cooked with a laser (but I did get a picture of the laser - check out my photostream on flickr). We did, however, eat food frozen with liquid nitrogen. So, ok, bonus points shall be awarded. For more pics, check out the moto section of my flickr pics.

In a word: Yum. In two words: But pricey.

OMG! I loved the greek salad too! When Tom and I went for Vday they served it with a squid salad that was awesome.

moto is food for seriously scientific foodie nerds and I loved every last bit of it.
