When your chef friends invite you over for dinner you don't say no. You pick up a bottle of wine and head over as quickly as possible, and that's exactly what @pamarias and I did last night.
We walked over to our favorite wine shop down the street, La Petrona, who happen to accept Bitcoin payments over Lightning, so of course I used my Keychain + v4v to pay for wine: https://hivehub.dev/tx/db45259844651515d8c2b6812fed1e5b88fa5709
We picked up a bottle of Viña Zorzal, which is a young wine made 100% of garnacha grape. A delicious unoaked garnacha that we've come to love and can never go wrong with. It's produced in four different villages in Navarra, Spain: Corella, Cintrúenigo, Fitero and Lerga
Pete's apartment is a block down the street. We got him to buzz us up and gave us a selection of LPs from his collection. We went with some Hector Lavoe, dropped the needle, put it in background music mode and sat at the bar.
Watching a chef do his thing is an amazing spectator sport. I don't not getting my hands dirty because I get to sit, listen to awesome music, have a great conversation and take in the atmosphere.
While all that happened, Pete started pouring some cauliflower puree on these beautiful hand-made plates from a shop called Contorno
He had a surprise in the oven that smelled amazing! We didn't know what it was until he served it: pork belly with fish sauce. If you're into sweet and salty food, you'd absolutely love this. 
Garnished those babies with some sesame seeds
and served with a side of roasted brussel sprouts as well as will rice with lentils.
Am I lucky or what?
I hope you all have an amazing weekend! Be productive if that's what you have planned, if not, relax and enjoy life in the company of friends and family.
Whatever you do, come share some of your weekend with your HIVE friens and let's fill up those blocks!
Stay awesome friends!
I don't have friends but you make a convincing argument that having chef friends would be nice. The food looks great.
We all need chef friends in our lives <3 Haha, yes we hand second servings.
That food is really well set in the dish, good chef here!
A true artist, right?
I swear they look like dishes of gourmet restaurants here, where you spend like 100€ per person
I spent 0€ per person! 😆. Yeah, he's world class.
I really wish I had more options to spend crypto directly. That food looks great and very well presented. You have to admire the skills.

Come to central America! If a shop accepts Bitcoin, they automatically accept HIVE and HBD thanks to v4vapp. There's loads of places you can spend crypto like that around here. Have you tried sites like Bitrefill?
I've not actually used v4vapp, so I ought to look into that. Bitrefill may be an option too. Thanks.
using v4vapp is as easy as using a credit card. I'll make a video just for you to show you how easy it is.
I'll buy a !BEER 🍺

Wow, what a night! The posts and photos you shared really exude joy, togetherness, and a sense of life, delicious food, great company, and perfect music. Watching a chef work his magic is truly mesmerizing, and pairing it with a fine wine like Viña Zorzal makes it even more delicious. The food looks mouth-watering; Pete really outdid himself! Have a great weekend!😊
If I get a chance to sit at a place in a restaurant where I can watch the chef and crew cook, I'll choose that spot. It's like watching art. We had a great time at Pete's! I hope you have a great weekend too.
The food looks very nice. Must be very tasty to eat.I think you had a great night.

My little concern is that the dish looks small and not enough for a grown up like you😀😀
