Looks great! I'm a bit sad that there wasn't any fire damage, but I guess I can make do with just the food porn.

So you are suggesting you WANTED ME TO BURN IN A FIRE?

Not burn alive so much as... get a bit toasty on the edges? Your sideburns turned all curly would be funny. :D

Next time I'm in that neck of the woods, sure, why not? :)

In NYC, Per Se is an option, but my personal preference is lunch at Le Bernardin.


See? Terrible influence.

Per Se I'd love to go to (about how much would one expect to pay here?), but I've never heard of Le Bernardin. A shame Sona isn't around any more in L.A.

Terrible influence? Or someone who simply desires to entertain the masses
self
? :D

Oh you think my side burns curly is funny? What are you REALLY trying to say Jess?
 
... So the girl I'm dating isn't returning my calls anymore. She was one of the people I wanted to hang out with on my birthday too.

I won't know until I see just how funny they could be...
You used my real name! I am exposed!
Just kidding. It's not hard to find out my real name.

Sorry industry secret, didn't mean to use your real name.
or did I? good luck finding mine out
 
About to jump on the IRC a bit before bed, damn i've been busy and miss this thread. :(

PS. Randomizer, definitely #1; aviator gaf is in need of new members. :p

Per Se ($295 nine course menu, service included) and French Laundry ($270 nine course menu, service included) are similarly priced. Both have supplemental charges sprinkled throughout, and both have hysterically marked-up wine lists. Unlike French Laundry, Per Se has a (not much) cheaper five course lunch ($185) from Friday to Sunday, and offers dishes à la carte in their lounge area.

Le Bernardin is a seafood-focused French fine dining restaurant, run by co-owners Eric Ripert (chef) and Maguy Le Coze. It's widely considered to be the best seafood restaurant in America; places like Providence (LA) and L2O (Chicago) would be a full tier or two below them.

Sona sounded interesting. Myers seems to be the temperamental sort, though.

I wish I had the disposable income for one of these.
One day....
 
I suppose I have enough disposable income to do so, but I don't want to spend that on a £150 dinner. or maybe I don't have as much disposable income as I think I do.

Don't you mean "in the palm of your hand?"

And to think I was honored you'd share something so personal.

Actually, though I am somewhat of a public figure for XSEED, it would take a little effort to find out. If I completely didn't care I would have just used it as my user name. :)
I honored you mightily!

Cool name. Your parents obviously had far more imagination than mine.

I would but unfortunately all my ties are in storage and I'm not sure exactly where they are.

Here are my choices, I'll probably alternate them anyway.

Both are good, but your aviator pic looks extra cool.

$295 is actually less than I thought it might be, but of course that's not including the wine. Add that and it'll probably be closer to $500. Perhaps my tax return will treat me (not likely)? I do enjoy splurging once a year on something really decadent, though...

I'm curious about Le Bernardin now. I've been to Providence and was very impressed, so it's hard to imagine anything that far above. Dare I ask how much that one costs?

As for Sona... I used to work there. :) Chef David certainly has a strong personality, but you can't deny his food is good.

It's like a trip to The Fat Duck: generally intended for special occasions. Think of it as the gastronomic analogue to an evening opera at Covent Garden.

I suppose you could go to Ramsay's flagship on Royal Hospital Road instead, if you like being bored.

Considering the Fat Duck's the best we got on our little island, I'll take your word for it. But I'm glad you put it that way. A yearly thing is alright I suppose. :P

Le Bernardin costs less than the Keller places. Three course prix fixe lunch $70, four course prix fixe dinner $120, tasting menus for $145 and $190. Not too different from Providence, IIRC.

Do tell about your Sona stories!

I think I'll be spending my tax return on a Vita or a new Motherboard/Processor/GPU combo.

Exciting times.

Eff the Vita. PC all the way.

Going to bed early. See ya later, GAF.

SWTOR is running like crap so now I don't know what to do with myself.

DON'T GET A VITA, ALBERTO. It will be so cheap in a few months.
