Food

Living in NYC I should be more of a food guy. I appreciate great food, but I don’t watch the Food Network and I don’t know famous chefs. I have simple tastes. So I had no idea who Mario Batali is. Apparently he’s famous (and apparently not so nice to his waiters).

Good friends of ours got reservations for four here. Batali owns it. Italian creations to the max. Apparently they start taking reservations a month in advance, so that’s basically what you have to do if you want a table. Exactly one month prior to the day you want to go, you call.

Oh my, yum.

I’ll be paying off this meal for the next few months, but damn it was good. We went with the pasta tasting menu and the wine pairings (similarly, not a wine guy, but they were yummy). I’m thinking around 5,000 calories.

I’ll diet next week…
