re: Going to Le Bernardin in a few weeks

Thanks for sharing. Looks like it was incredible.

I’m eating at a 2 Michelin Star in November. Can’t wait

Btw, the assortment of sweets is called mignardise

I have a horrible story about it: I made reservations a few years back with the intention of taking my girlfriend of 3.5 years and possibly popping the question. I made the res like 7 months in advance. During that time our relationship imploded (long story). Anyway was messing with this chick from the panhandle of Florida at the time the trip came up. Smoking hot but dumb as hell. I decided what the heck, I’ll take her to NY. I don’t think she had ever left the SE, which became apparent right off the bat. The whole trip was a train wreck, but the coup de gras was Le Bernardin. We (I) did the chefs pairing. She guzzled wine and made a spectacle off everything they brought out. Informing everybody in ear shot of how gross/inedible/stupid everything looked. Didn’t eat anything save a shrimp or something she would pick out with her fingers and nibble on. I didn’t make it to the end. While she went to the restroom I flagged our waiter down and asked for the check. He had been watching the shite show and was sympathetic. They adjusted my bill somewhat. I think it was still around $800. She passed out in the cab on the ride to the room. Good times..

I can laugh now. I couldn’t for quite a while
