Lar has been in London the past few days and I’m so jealous! I really shouldn’t complain though because I’ve had a pretty gosh darn good week. It was spring break so I didn’t have class on Wednesday night, which meant that Troy and I were able to attend the Leap Year Dinner at One Eared Stag.
Robert Phalen, the chef at One Eared Stag, invited five of Atlanta’s top chefs to make an amazing five course meal. Actually, amazing doesn’t even begin to describe it: scallops with crispy smoked duck, pea consomme, braised bacon with kale, and so much more delicious goodness.
I decided to dress up a bit for the evening so I wore my new Marc by Marc Jacobs dress. It’s billowy and stretchy – perfect for belly expanding meals.
Outfit details: Marc by Marc Jacobs colorblock tunic, Claire Vivier clutch (gift from Lar), Mossimo for Target shoes (gift from Troy) and H&M belt.
The dress is meant to be worn as a tunic without a belt, but it makes me look like a walking trash bag. Plus I love how it looks drape-y when it’s belted.
But enough about me, let’s return to the food! Below Troy is pointing to Robert Phalen’s barley fed chicharone with powdered kimchi served with Hitachino Nest red rice ale.
My favorite dish of all was made by our friend Guy Wong, the talented chef at Miso Izakaya: Japanese hamburg with poached egg.
Troy and I want to come back to One Eared Stag when the weather is even nicer so we can sit outside on the back patio.
If only Leap Day was every year Troy and I would make reservation for next year this very minute! Absolutely one of the all time best meals I’ve ever had.

Dear Lar,
How is London? Do you realize this is the first time one of us is in London without the other? I feel like I should be in London with you and you should have come to the Leap Day dinner with me.
We’ll just have to take a trip down to London together next time I come to visit you in Scotland. We can go have tea at the Savoy and then head over to Oxford Circus and then maybe head on over to the Tate Modern. And next time you’re in Atlanta, I’ll take you to One Eared Stag and of course we’ll make a few trips to Miso Izakaya.
I hope you’re taking lots of photos and can’t wait to hear all about it!
love, cath
London is definitely not London without you, Cath. We went to Spitalfields Market yesterday! You would love it! Missss you! Love the OES photos.
Xoxoxoxo,
Lar
Mmmmm. looks like a lovely dinner! And belting that dress was a good idea, sometimes a nice belt is all you need to pump up a dress.

So true. i could probably use it as a beach cover-up if I don’t belt it 😉
Great dress and your feast looks amazing! I need to go on more culinary adventures!
It really was amazing!
I love the color block tunic and the way it looks belted is fabulous!
The drapery in the back is absolutely fucking fantastic, Cath! You look radiant and gorgeous.
me ke aloha, Mae
