Nice! but the owners of the restaurant? look like high school kids. I must be getting old smileys/frown.gif

and now I'm starving.

and the gougeres with roasted eggplant/tomato----great idea!

 

[traca]

I'm glad you noticed that. They were freaking delicious! The black bean soup too.

Stay tuned for more. I'm talking with Rick's people about a phone interview, and

bonded with the Executive Chef from Safeco Field. Next week there's a home game and he's giving me an all access pass to life in the stadium, as he sees it. He was laughing about chefs who have 60 seat restaurants. "That's NOTHING! I serve 25,000 a night!" I'm definitely looking forward to that.
