i'm going to take a stab with it with my beginners french.

le jambon de jabugo - spanish ham

le homard - lobster from maine with fresh salad

la chataigne - caramalised foie gras with veloute sauce in chestnut soup (or celery broth i think? not too sure with this one).

l'aubergine - eggplant and pasta cooked with preserved tomatoes, topped with spanish ham and parmesan

le saint-pierre - specially grilled mushrooms cooked in butter topped with gravy. vegetables drizzled in olive oil on the side.

la bavette de boeuf - beef (steak?) with salad on the side and mash potatos with truffles.

pre dessert - puredeseru? pre-dessert?

la figue - fresh figs with cheese mousse and grapefruit campari

le cafe express - various small sweets

alot of it is how the food is prepared. having zero knowledge in cooking i'm not too familiar with some of the terms used. let me know if i got them right!

edit: ah fuck fumma beat me to it. oh well good practice.

Writing the menu in french for a Japanese restaurant (even though it's a Robuchon, fuck you Joel) is pure wankery and I say that as someone who prefers french menus when applicable as my culinary English is not that good.

The eggplants are going to be killer...

thanks Fuuma and swooc

Though I'm expecting that the wait staff at the restaurant will be able to translate the menu if it changes next month when I go...

[DJI]

so I take it my jeans are fucked? eh I'll just buy another pair while they're still available, probably turn the pair with a mark on them into shorts.

definitely interested still...

this heat is unbearable in boots/shoes

JV, nice photo's..... more please

fuck, with these 30+ degree days I'd seriously consider a pair of mandals too. been wearing havaianas again, gotta step my shit up...

[Ivans On High]

The ebay seller a few pages back doesn't ship outside the US, but you could always proxy them.

[fenrost]

the seller has a nice guidi bag too.

[calvinc]

would you guys wear leggings by itself without any outer pants? damir dorma legging for instance

[jcotteri]

yes chicks dig the bulge

[Ivans On High]

the seller has a nice guidi bag too.

Yeah, I love that bag. If I hadn't already commissioned a pair of sandals I would proxy both items.

edit: man, minomni's dust rick's jacket is awesome...

[melvin7]

Met up with Ajax today for lunch. Thought i should try the RO sneaks in person b4 i cop...

opinions?

I like them but not too sure if i can pull of the look.. esp with my current wardrobe :/

[home]

^ honestly? they don't look bad. (hard to gauge your steeze from a photograph, though.)

i just think there are so many better options out there for the dollars.

[DJI]

agree with home, they look decent but there are better things to drop cash on. up to you if you think they're really for you though mangz.

[btbam]

Augusta sneakers imo if you want something more casual

*ivans where you at

[melvin7]

Thanks for the opinions guys.

I've decided against it. Dont think ill get too much wear out of it and I look like a nugget when I rock them with my other pants

Augusta make sneakers? have any pics of them joe? price might be too steep for me atm though haha.

[Ivans On High]

Word. Augusta sneaks. Don't know if I can show pics though.

[jbone]

would you guys wear leggings by itself without any outer pants? damir dorma legging for instance

would feel a lil awkward if bulge wasn't covered but id still rock the DD knit leggings

the augusta is in my size.. if no one here wanna go for it.. i will..

fen, you need to ease up on the spending man lulz...

you're a bad influence

btw, photo you took of your sneakers was the best photo i've seen of them yet! really tempting me into ordering

I'm moving to Sydney end of Jan, sydney-siders! Fuck Yeah!

nice arj.. whats with all you perth dudes moving across? next bt will be setting up store in Sydney

Word. Augusta sneaks. Don't know if I can show pics though.

lucky prick... white?

[Ivans On High]

I went for black, even though I haven't seen them in that colour. I don't think I'll ever wear white sneakers.

[jbone]

yeh they'd look unreal in the black..

i do need a black pair of sneakers, fen's pic just reminded me even more so

definitely was the hardest, choosing what colour would be best on what shoe.. especially if you indecisive like me

[fenrost]

i wore the sneaks few days ago, maybe this belongs to a stranger's reaction post..

a dude came up to me asked me if my shoes are melting! lol.. . then told him they are like that, then he ask where i got em etc etc.. which later he said "what a wicked shoes, i want one".. hahahaha.

these sneakers look normal when stand still.. but once you walk in them, that's where you get crazy reaction. haha

[jbone]

btw,. bt not on to answer and want to know,

post 1 of NAT (for the sale), that's just the shoes i'm presuming?

not the tees/shirting/knit that was recently added?

[jbone]
