That is Some Tasty Ostrich!

Our threesome attended a special South African wine dinner at The Cellar restaurant last Monday. We were really excited to get last minute reservations for the dinner, as they usually are booked far in advance, and The Cellar has easily been one of our favorite restaurants in Dubai since Matt and I shared our Valentine’s Day dinner there. The menu consisted of a 5 course meal with a wine pairing for each course. As the most adventurous foodie in our group, Matt wasn’t foreign to any of the courses, but Lisa and I shared the experience of trying ostrich for the first time! Yummy! The menu included, and I quote (I only do this for Matt's brother Chris, who demands the details of our meals!)
