Who we are hoping to see soon at Blanca I do feel constrained to note that Blamey’s successor at Chumley’s, Heather Pelletier, is doing a bang up job at M Wells these days.

When we did it at my place it was phrased a little differently. This version is more wholesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted February 22, 2024 Share Posted February 22, 2024 Okay, I read about it. She is still trying to “figure out” what her food is. Currently hamburger and frozen fries. A charge of $1K for a kiss on the cheek invites inappropriate comments from which I will demur. Place bets on this place. Poor old Chumley’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryOlds2TheReturnofGerry Posted February 22, 2024 Share Posted February 22, 2024 I like absurdism, but I'm feeling less confident than I was initially that the food will make up for the schtick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
