Planning a Mini-Moon, Update: Dining like Royalty

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that cubes and I love food - especially good food. So what are we doing for our honeymoon? Cooking and eating of course. 

We also love reading about food. One of our favorite books, The Man Who Ate the World: In Search of the Perfect Dinner, is the inspiration for our honeymoon. Our theme? The Couple Who Ate the Wine Country: In Search of the Perfect Bite.

So when we started planning months ago, we had an idea of the restaurants we wanted to dine at. Now, getting to dine at said restaurants is easier said than done - one must hit the phones and the Internet two months prior and hope and pray. Two of the restaurants were completely booked: The French Laundry (3 Michelin Stars) and Cyrus (2 Michelin Stars). One had an early brunch available but would have required waking up at an ungodly hour, so we passed: Ad Hoc.
