Last night, we were the guests of
Patty & Jimmy Barrier at
Bis on Main in Bellevue to celebrate the birthdays of our dear friends,
Kjell Schei and
Keely Jared who are engaged to be married in January, 2012.
Patty brought great wine to share including a 1998 Lafite Rothschild Bordeaux and a 1999 Col Solare, plus guest gifts and for their birthdays, relationship advice books (?!) for
Kjell and
Keely.
The food was fantastic! I had a delicious troll-caught salmon with a buerre blanc sauce while
Ken had a great New York steak with garlic mashed potatoes.
Kjell ordered one of my all-time favorite menu items which is the garlic chicken.
Jimmy struck the jackpot by asking for extra vegetables with his salmon and was rewarded with a heaping plate of the fattest whole sweet peas in pods that I have ever seen.
Jimmy shared and they were unbelievably good!

| Joe Vilardi with new Bis on Main Cookbook |
Bis on Main owner,
Joe Vilardi, was leaving the parking lot when
Jimmy and
Patty pulled in just in time to see him driving away in a big BMW.
Barrier Motors represents many dealerships (
Mercedes,
Porsche,
Audi and
Volvo), but BMW is not one of them. When
Joe arrived back at the restaurant at the end of our dinner, we included a picture of him with our group along with
Tim Shea, Restaurant Manager.
Joe looks a bit sheepish after all the kidding he received about his choice of wheels.
Joe also showed us his new
Bis on Main cookbook which has recently been published. I haven't had a chance to look through it yet, but am looking forward to it.
Another great evening with friends! Thank you
Patty & Jimmy!
