BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
FRENCH LAUNDRY!

Excuse my ignorance, but what or where is a French laundry?
You should be bragging. Hell, brother, I think you should be live-Tweeting the shit out of your dining experience! #BOTLENVY
That is awesome! That's a bucket list dinner right there. And, Happy Birthday!

so, how was it? the food looks amazing. did it live up to it's reputation?
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.

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...
