I was going to write my "20 things" deal last night, but instead, I went to dinner.
And I didn't even pay! My friends Tom and Julie took me to dinner, and he had a shitload of points from AMEX that he turned into gift cards or something.
Dinner was GREAT, but bittersweet, because I found out Tom is going to take a job as President of a small college in the Portland area in March. Tom and Julie have been regulars at my restaurant for about 14 years, and are super cool food & wine people that I've become rather close to in the last 3 years.
But fuck it. It's a huge step for him in his career, so I'm happy.

I missed out on Living Colour last night at HOB. Lameness. Other plans wound up biting me in the fleshiest part of my ass. Flavah.
I hate do do this too you, but I'm not gonna be able to do the Coheed and Cambria show. Gonna be spending a day or 2 in NYC with a friend then driving back here with him for the xmas. I thought he was gonna travel after the 20th, but I'm most likely going to be out there the 18th.
In other news, I'm lobbying heavily for my family going to Vivere sometime around the xmas. We really don't make a big deal out of the 25th, so we usually treat ourselves to a bit of gastronomic hedonism. We've done chop houses in the past, but I'm pretty fucking sick of that.
So here I am. What's your stance on the condiment issue?
I hope you're doing well!
