Russian River 2011: The FOOD!


Dinner prep with ray and Todd
Thanks to the masterful culinary stylings of our friend, Chef Ray, we had the BEST eats on the Russian.  Dude goes ALL OUT for us every year and just blows everyone away.  This year it was a pleasure to have so many hungry bodies ready for FUEL!   Here's our Russian River eating schedule:

BREAKFAST 4/5 am-  One shitty bagel with AWESOME salmon spread with cream cheese.  You just can't get a decent NY bagel in this state.  Period.
Fish for a few hours and eat a crumbled granola bar if you where awake enough to remember to bring one.

LUNCH/1st Dinner 3/4pm-  Monstrously huge hamburgers with sauteed onions OR the previous night's HOT kimchi on top.
