Now he is in NYC, working for Batali at Babbo. Good person to know, right? He used to whip us up the best dinners with loads of wine - all from stuff he learned while at Alinea. I miss those days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078230233348440413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-58366671225302395792011-04-25T15:42:05.798-06:002011-04-25T15:42:05.798-06:00Best meal of my life!

Grant's new book "Life, on the line" is great too. I can't put it down.

Like Jerry Seinfeld said, I'm more of an "eatie" than a "foodie"! On my list are things like the street food vendors in Vietnam, real southern BBQ, a home cooked meal in Italy, as well as restaurants like Chez Panisse, Prune, etc... Not that I wouldn't love to go to this place, if the opportunity arose!Eva / Sycamore Street Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473612753403446630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-84430634837697548152011-04-21T13:01:23.645-06:002011-04-21T13:01:23.645-06:00That looks luscious and just amazing.

Sounds simple but I still dream about it. And of course there's the famous dish on a vapor-filled pillow that deflates as you eat. They were even nice enough to throw in a few bonus courses, but we were actually so full that we couldn't finish them all. I hope you go someday!Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861146135074372958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-69492272385173449332011-04-21T11:43:55.064-06:002011-04-21T11:43:55.064-06:00My husband has.
