Being in Contracts when I hear the word Addendum it means more work for me. This Addendum was anything but work, so I am taking this moment of relaxing in the most perfect little inn to blog about our lunch at Thomas Keller’s Addendum.
Addendum is situated behind AdHoc (another of Thomas Keller’s restuarants-which we ate at last time we were in Napa), is only open for lunch and is only open a couple months a year! Guess what? It opened last week! Ah the timing could not have been more perfect.
The outdoor seating, tiny shack where the orders are places, vegetables growing around you and then the delicious food — I could almost feel the stars aligning. I wish my pictures of the chicken were better because it was, without fail, the best fried chicken I have ever eaten in my entire life. Perfectly crispy and salty, yet so juicy on the inside the juice literally dripped out. Oh my goodness, I want to walk back right now. Did I mention it is walking distance from the Vintage Inn where we are staying? Dangerous.
Of course a salty crunchy lunch had to be completed by a Bouchon hoho. If you head to Napa you must stop by Addendum, it is well worth the $50+ price tag for a picnic lunch! Maybe someday for some super special occasion we will have to try the French Laundry, since his “normal” restaurants are so amazing I cannot even imagine the decadence to be had there! A girl can dream, right?
*I should note that after posting this, the hubby told me I needed to mention that the friend chicken does come with two sides. I didn’t mention the sides being that potato salad and collard greens aren’t my thing {they were good though-just no where near the chicken goodness}.
