Ally posted these cute little quesadillas on my Facebook. I found more insanely small works of art from Fairchildart's gallery on Deviantart.

Marrakech: Lamb Alley

When a friend of mine heard that I was going to Morocco, he sent me this picture (man on the left). He told me to find this man at Mechoui Alley. Luckily we stumbled upon the alley and I showed this picture to the man (on the right) and asked where I can find him. He said, "That is my father." At first, I didn't believe him because I thought he just wanted us to eat at his shop. But he quickly pointed out the stars and the tiles were the same in the background. There was no doubt there and he welcomed us to his delicious slow roasted lamb.

Le Relais de l'Entrecôte

After a day in Versailles (still working on uploading/editing those pics) we came back to the city to try Le Relais de 'Entrecôte. The wait for a table was down the block, felt like I was back in NYC. This restaurant only serves steak and frites with this special green sauce. Their dessert menu was much more elaborate. I would come back here, but would not want to wait in that line. Just like how I feel about Shake Shack.
