The Stinking Rose

Heidi enjoying a pot of Bagna Calda

I cannot begin to explain my fascination with the Stinking Rose.  Nor the reason it has taken me so long to visit.  But, late one night after a day of barbecues and beer, Heidi and I were about to drive past the restaurant and were stopped by an overwhelming urge to gorge on mass quantities of garlic.  Perhaps it was time for a cleanse of sorts.  So in we went.  As it was 10:30 pm, there was no wait for a table.  We slid into a garish booth under a faux starry night and began our gastronomical journey.  I'd be lying if I didn't say it was delicious.  Although, the stench of garlic could be smelled coming from my pores over the next few days at the gym.  

We gave 100% to this experience, ordering a full meal with multiple courses...including a dessert sundae of garlic ice cream (interesting, but not something I would recommend).  And I would do it all over again (minus the garlic ice cream!)
