Wilfrid Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I can't remember why it happened, but his personal phone number was once accidentally published. Whatever the context, it must have been something interesting so I called and he picked up. He was not happy; I was not the first. I ate at Lutece once I think.

Diancecht Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 epilogue “André would be very unhappy with all the waste,” Mr. Pépin said with an ironic smile, indicating a half-eaten plate of smoked salmon crepe in front of him. Mr. Soltner’s propensity for economizing had been recalled by Mr. Dopf upstairs earlier, with reported habits like judiciously saving wine corks to use to balance unsteady dining tables or placing burned out lightbulbs in the freezer with the belief that the cold could revive the filament.
