Dear Alice,
Someday I hope my name will invoke awe as yours does. I dream about a time when seating hosts will know me and clear the best table in anticipation of my arrival. I hope to inspire back-end kitchen flurry and savor the best that modern dining has to offer. When I get to this point, it would be fun to sit with you and discuss the future of the food universe as Foodies emerge. How about it? For now, let me say this. I picked Chez Panisse for Mother’s Day this year 2008. It was nice sitting next to the kitchen, because I was able to capture this shot of your pretty bread basket, but the table was a little drafty to be honest. The food was wonderful obviously. But next time can we be towards the window? Hey restaurants, you know you’ve made it in my book, when I allow my mother to enter your premises. Know that and be on the lookout for me. World, here I come.
About me: I like warm fresh bread with cold hard butter.
(Me, mom, and LDC)
