No, we do the food & wine every few years as a group with friends...to drink.

Moving among cities with restaurant weeks sound like a good retirement trip, though.

It's Thursday and I've put in about 90 hours since Sunday. (On another note, Vi has been late with lines this season.) I'm headed home in a few hours.

It's expensive, depending on perspective I guess. I "think" we're going to do Prohibition tomorrow—not the blindfold eating. There's a group called Downlow playing there tonight...pretty good music.

I've noticed that about VI. You may want to consider going back to BOL. They are one of, if not the first to put the games up.

Last night, we were treated to an exceptional meal by Vagn Nielsen, Executive Chef for Proof of the Pudding, a very large event catering company based in Atlanta. They handle all of the PGA events except The Masters, and they handle catering at many pro and college stadiums. They handle all of the food for the Founders Club at BDS and Vagn Nielsen himself is the chef for the President's Suite for each home game.

I'm still stuffed. In addition to the menu, we started with a very nice charcuterie arrangement. Plus, my wife is not a duck or rare steak fan, so I ate her duck, her filet and a good portion of her halibut. Several of the courses were from his native Denmark, and he had a story to share ahead of each course. He's a very interesting guy, and he does this for charity each year. A buddy was the winning bidder last year and this (he works for Buckhead Beef and they are a big customer of his), and he knows whatever he bids will get divided six ways for our party of twelve.

The menu:

Stuff looks really good but this is why I can’t do fancy places*, I wouldn’t have known if I was supposed to eat the clover looking grass stuff or not.


*Also, they’d probably frown on shorts and tennis shoes.

I asked the chef what was around the dish, and he said, "whatever looked good at the market this morning, some of it's wheat grass but don't eat any of it".

If it's on the dish, like the sprouts on the rice or the miniature cilantro on the duck, I'll eat it, but if it's just around the dish, I hesitate.

A reasonable path, I'll remember that. Also, Thought of the Day material.
