Excuse my ignorance, but what or where is a French laundry?

 

[CATom]

It's a restraunt in napa ca that is notoriously hard to get reservations to.

You should be bragging. Hell, brother, I think you should be live-Tweeting the shit out of your dining experience! #BOTLENVY

The NC prices are on par or even a bit less than Macanudo club NYC. Too high for us but people do it all the time.

Yes, it was very much worth the price of admission. Would I or could I go frequently, no. I think some of the romance is in the exclusivity, but hell they let me in!

I love that you finally snapped a pic of the pre-embargo cigar menu! I heard about it but had not seen a photo yet.

What do you think? The '58 Fonseca, or the 1932 Peter Schuyler?

I'm not sure I want to know what a 62 year old Candela tastes like

being a fat kid, the plates looked too empty to me... o)

that said, it looked like AMAZING food, and a killer experience. i truly hope you enjoyed the shit out of it, sir.

 

[CATom]

Yes portions were small... I didn't photo every course, because quite honestly I ate a few before remembering to take a pic, how's that for fat boy Java? However, while you don't leave stuffed, you leave completely and utterly satisfied, which I feel is part of the experience, balance!

Iconic bucket list stuff. Congrats.

totally counts, brother. o)

and a venue like that AIN'T the value buffet, stuffing yourself is NOT the point. leaving satisfied, however, IS. i do hope this memory stays with you for years, brother, and that the food was a vehicle to enrich your life. at that level, at that price, that IS the ENTIRE point. and it sounds like it succeeded...
