Today's NYTimes mag has an article by Julia Reed that discusses Sandor's, the restaurant, and Sandor, the man. It brought to mind your write up.

Read 'em both.

I think FG covered more of the food and the ambiance of the area than Reed did. I haven't done a line by line analysis of the two, but that could be interesting, too.

Wonderful thread. Finally got around to reading it, as I'm headed to Panama City Beach. for a long weekend.

Have you been through Seattle yet? I would love to hear about your experiences in my locale.

Or have I missed a post somewhere?

Fatguy was in Seattle on the 1st and 2nd of May. On the 2nd of May, the Pacific NW forum gave Fatdog, Mr. and Mrs. Fatguy a good old bbq. I don't know if Fatguy will ever write about what happened between Austin and Vancouver, but if you absolutely must hear about something that happened in Seattle, click me.

re: edit, this damn Mozilla browser posts the message when you're finished entering the link, before you can double check.

A couple of updates on Sandor: 1) Have a look at the December issue of Food & Wine, which should be available in a few weeks. He gets a big mention in a piece I wrote, which is essentially a scaled-down and repurposed version of this diary. 2) I just got a very nice letter from Sandor (wouldn't you know, he writes letters), in which he says he's going to spend his winter in France doing two six-week stages: First at Ambroisie and then at Guy Savoy. Sandor doesn't mess around.
