threemeninaboatI GOT A NEW HOUSE AND SOCK MONKEY BOOK FOR VALENTINES DAY!!!
I got John albino tomato seeds and a seed book. Love apples!
We did a bad thing.
We've heard for years that constantly patronizing a restaurant will get you special attention. But it really never seemed to surface:
Until we showed up at Parisi on Valentines Day at 6:30 without reservations.
"We've been eating here for Valentines Day for 4 years and you've never accepted reservations before!" We claimed.
Simone Parisi himself seated us at 2 tables, 1 table would be too small, he insisted.
The second man-of-the-house waited on us and brought over a perfect wine.
I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu, a rack of veal. John had truffle risotto.
We had dessert.
We tipped well.
We made reservations for next year.
It was perfect. All of his food is perfect. It's always perfect.
When I was dying, I missed Parisi's food and Brie cheese, the only things worth living for.
