Michael Smith

On Saturday I went to Michael Smith for dinner. Michael Smith is a well known chef throughout the United States. His first high profile chef job was at the American Restaurant in 1994. Then he opened Forty Sardines in 2002 with his former wife Debbie Gold. Now after leaving Forty Sardines he has opened his own restaurant Michael Smith. This restaurant serves Regional American cuisine. My favorite dish was the Glazed Pork Meatballs with bean ragout, cilantro, spring onions and chorizo broth.
