NomNoms: The Foundry on Melrose (Los Angeles)

Apparently, when the economy is in recession, the first thing people cut is eating out. OpenTable.com's "Appetite Stimulus Plan" gave diners the chance to dine out on the cheap and restaurants the chance to get bodies into their spaces. For dinner, The Foundry was offering three courses for $35. Unfortunately, I was not entirely impressed with our meal. I loved the glazed pork belly, but everything else was unmemorable. Parts of the beef short ribs dish were so heavily seasoned that I couldn't finish it.

The Debutante - champagne and raspberry liquor

Amuse bouche - toast point with cheese and fruit

Mustard Glazed Pork Belly (we ordered this in addition to our meals)

Squash soup

Beef short ribs with eggplant, mushrooms and pasta

Pumpkin terrine and ice cream
