campfire

oysters with smoked oxtail dashi + pickled onion

While we were in Carlsbad for the weekend, we had to stop at Campfire the night before we hit up Jeune et Jolie (next door / same owners).

This spot was super fun. Great food, good cocktails, and a more casual vibe than its fancy french sister.

The only thing I didn’t like is that they required us to order everything up front, but we like to take our time and order as we go. I made them promise they would spread out the courses, but unfortunately they brought a lot of things out at once. I didn’t even have time to photograph everything!

Here’s what I got:

charred carrots with preserved huckleberry, honeycomb, fromage blanc, everything spice
