I likely don’t qualify as a kid but with a dinner like that I can absolutely act as one!

They do offer a three course lunch menu for $19 which is a steal IMO given the prices at Ming. I am not a big fan of Indian food but have heard great things first hand about Begum Place in Madison: https://www.begumpalacenj.com

Do you do mail order? That looks delicious.

I will take them tomorrow. Apparently technology is alluding my father at the moment.

So I’m going back Friday. My parents said the service seems to have improved they went earlier this week. I did learn that the lowest investment accepted is in fact, very low for a high end restaurant (along the lines of a semester of college tuition) which explains the insane amount of investors. As long as the food and service are good, I will be happy.

I’ve spent probably half my working life in well established restaurants. There’s a dark side to everything Right now my friend who was a GM where I worked is writing up a report about a customer who died tonight. That is not easy. I’d rather have my ass grabbed than deal with that.

I had two young kids ring my bell at 3:30pm. That’s…really early. I was on my deck watching them from my camera on my phone. The littlest one was so mad the threw my Amazon delivery at my door lol! After that, absolutely nothing. I meant to turn off the outside lights but Maisey and I napped. While I’m sure the two who came to my door were cute, I’m sure I will be much cuter without having candy around to snack on! 😬

I had a McRib and fries. No regrets. I didn’t eat the day before.

I do love puff pastry. I mainly use it to make a pizza. It makes a hell of a mess with the crumbs but my dog is a living vacuum cleaner.

They look gorgeous. I am just adverse to beans.

I really dislike ciabatta. I think it’s because I have veneers and it feel rough to bite into. I’m more of a potato, brioche or pretzel bun person and I know they all likely have more calories. I just worry too much to chance a ciabatta and I also think it could distract from some burgers but certainly not the delicious double posted above!

I’ve had a hard time getting zero sugar Gatorade in basic flavors. I’m trying to stock up because I’m nervous my booster will give me a fever since my second shot did.

It’s from Wayfair. Enough said. It’s like IKEA— I don’t have the patience or the ability to read sketchy directions to assemble anything from either place.

@JoNorvelleWalker where’d you source the clams from?

The Top Golf suites are going to be a gold mine for them. Chef Burke was all over, talking to tables and explaining the whimsical names behind some of the dishes, we discussed a dessert. He’s an affable guy. I’ve met him years ago. The service and host station need some work, but again this was only their 4th night in operation. The steaks were delicious and cooked perfectly. I didn’t have the appetite (nor did my dad) after 4 hours of watching my cousin play varsity football (go Green Wave for those in the know, they lost) and hiking all over the campus. It seems like they have a LOT of investors who are standing around posturing and being useless. That bothered me. But again all of this is a learning curve. I will definitely be back. And I’ll add pictures once my dad sends them to me.

With top golf and other games. It opened today in Morristown. I have a reservation to go with my father for Saturday night. The menu looks typical, but that isn’t a bad thing.

Agreed. I think that’s what the author meant.

I like fried kale but that’s the only way I’ll eat it.

You can just give it to me. I won’t have any issues 😊

Interesting. I will eat most fish raw with the exception of uni— I don’t have a taste for it. Yet I’ve never had carpaccio but I would definitely try it.

Bermuda is nice but if you ever get stuck at their tiny airport it is basically hell. all the vendors keep early hours and you’re just stuck there.

I feel like this should be a group outing!

Kusshi, Kumamoto and Beau Soleil.

You’re right I was mistaken. Love little necks. I miss smoking them on the BGE.

West coast oysters on the East Coast I have found to be insanely expensive even here in NJ. $4 per oyster. I pay it because they tend to be my favorites. I don’t like large oysters. Raw clams are much more reasonable and I love those too. At least the cherry stones.
