Mom and Irwin, Allison - 3 weeks after Liam- and the beautiful Mrs Trotter I have probably 50 or moer assorted Trotter pics but thats enough for tonight!

Mom and $500 worth of Riedel Crystal Mom, Charlie and Allison My wife Allison and Mom before Trotters Belinda - our favorite and Mom Mrs Trotter and Mom

and a nice chianti...{followed by disgusting gross sucking noises}

suvir, its late and im drinking a few of these amstel lights...so no grammar school rules right now....

Charlie likes to do his trick where he doesnt tell you about the variety meat until aftery ou finish it and say how good it was, very sneaky...

Truth: My relationship with Charlie Trotter is and has been both business and pleasure. Truth: The question i asked him was from the Dummies book - seemingly very unappropriate (sp?) at the time... Truth: Our Dinnerware is from Charlie Trotters - purchased of course! Truth: Charlie is very very intelligent and soft spoken - you already knew that - and very very kind. He called my Mother on a Saturday - the night after she dined one night - and talked with her for about 1/2 hour about everything - my Mom tells me - my Mother absolutely loves Charlie...and so do we all...

all good questions...of course seared foie gras is my favorite thing in the world, and CT now knows this, everyone at CT knows this I dont want to say any more until you dine no we didnt enjoy the foie gras at all that first time...especially since our friend kept alluding to the texture... we also had some informal shooter desert experiences which i dont like...i like more formal presentations

suvirs on crack, definately

Great question Suivr. First off, when I lived in Milwaukee I always wanted to eat at Charlie Trotters. When I moved to Chicago it wasnt until a year or so that I had the money to actually eat there...and it was an experience...it wasnt that good... I had never had foie gras before and we were presented with the whole liver...poached I think...not seared... i got a chance to meet Charlie for a bit and it was awkward then and I asked him a dumb question which im sure he doesnt remember now, thank god...We now know each other quite well...Charlie even had us - me, my wife and my mother on The Kitchen Sessions w Charlie Trotter... Anyway, we are well over our fear of foie gras and actually have that actual first dinner menu at CT's framed in our hallway that you will see when you visit - or anyone else for that matter...

You know Im just kidding about you Suvir....You're awesome. Okay not awesome.... But a pretty cool guy...

Ever heard of the song, Super Freak?

ill pick you up and take you to be on the Jerry Springer Show you freak!

oh boy... first off you're always invited here, of course but, that doesnt mean I pay for you to fly out, take a limo to my house and treat yout to Charlie Trotters. CT runs around $300 a person and perhaps i will someday pay for you, most likely some day, but I can't say I will for sure soon. Anyway, its usually more fun when you pay for yourself. ok, maybe not.

Suvir Suvir Suvir I cant pay for everyone now can I? In the the 90's maybe I would have but not now...Im buying Mr. Regime because I thought that that would be a very cool thing to do and he reminds me of myself in a way... I enjoy being generous to those in need...but you are not, right? So, get your ass to Chicago and Ill buy the drinks and you can crash at my place!

never said that...Mike has a platinum Am EX Card...he's treating everyone!

skip the faboulous - doesnt work in Chicago that much benny hill does of course Mike Cyzyzzxvz is in too...cool..this guy is on a rampage around the windy city and could offer some awesome insights!

why are you a monstrosity? you dont seem to be?

charlie trotter will love those souvenirs

around 92 times counting special anniversary dinners

How many times at Charlie Trotters? ive mentioned this before a few times and I hate saying it too much because it sounds arrogant...but quite a few times...check out my posts on CT or pm me...

Chocolate (truffles to be) in fridge...like the last time you asked me 5 minutes ago!

oops

well this weekend is tough i got my eGullet Reality special premiering tomorrow and press shoots all weekend combined with Topolobampo Saturday night and my sons baptism on Sunday. Realistically, lets shoot for mid Jan on a Saturday...see if you cant arrange Suvir to come to town too...we also have a guest bedroom in our place for you to stay if needed - however, a few walls have Trotter menus framed...

I dont like you guys that much! Hey where's Kato? All seriousness, Suvir come out to Chicago and we'll head out to a few places...trips to NY - Chicago cant be much...

you've already been forgiven, my son... I....am Your father...ooops wrong movie.... Let me know when you're in Chicago a few weeks ahead of time and Ill take care of it...
