Wilfrid Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Happy 40th birthday. I just got an email from them asking me to share a favorite memory and win a glass of "bubbly" on the house. My favorite memory has to be the August 4, 2009 review by Frank Bruni where he took a star away, simply because it followed my July 20 piece in the Pink Pig that shared many of Bruni's complaints -- not least the appalling duck confit. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I guess my favorite memory has to be the time when my college roommate's dad took us to USC for dinner, and I got a little too exuberant and flung my wine into the ashtray, extinguishing dad's (probably 8th) cigarette. Dunno what I ate, but the embarrassment has stayed with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 If it's 40 years old, I sure wasn't living here when they opened. I do remember it being not necessarily the first or second 'nice" restaurant I went to with a date after moving back here in '94 to go to cooking school (I think the first was Bouley, and I was taken there by someone, maybe even to celebrate graduation), and probably enjoying myself.
