We were recently saddened to find out that Restaurant Starlu, our favorite local restaurant, is closing before Christmas, so we decided to stop in for one last meal. I got my last taste of the amazing arancini appetizer, and of course we split a chocolate plate for dessert. Since Chef Sam is selling off the back of the wine list, Leandra got an early Christmas present in the form of a 1992 Phelps Insignia to be enjoyed at a later date.

In honor of one of Eric’s favorite signature burgers, Leandra made a double Boca burger layered with sharp cheddar cheese and wrapped in a puff pastry for dinner this evening.

Thanks for the great meals Sam, and we’re hoping you make a reappearance sooner rather then later…
