Those nachos were terrific, but I’m still thinking about the PB&J. I know it’s a classic, but I had never had it until thursday.

@johnny0- it was terrible, you didn’t miss a thing.

I like bloggers. Some of my best friends are bloggers.
The Chronicle article says that I never made time to talk with the reporter, but we sat down with her for an hour-long interview, in which we explained that we would be busy working on Thursday.
Also in that interview: she inexplicably asked Anthony if he is a vegetarian, which surprised us both, given (a) the food he cooks and (b) the meatloaf sandwich he was eating at that moment.

Re the orange — bet it was for Chinese new year.

In Cantonese, the word for orange and gold are the same, so you get a lot of those (along with your red envelopes) symbolizing luck / happiness / fortune for the new year.

Belated gung hay fat choy!

(Pssst — dude, you’re supposed to tell me it sucks on the nights I can’t make it…)

Karen rocks — she puts up with bloggers AND the Chronicle. She is the patron saint of line chefs.

Ahh, Chronicle — I love how that article tried to diss them by implying no big chefs are signing up:

“Chris Kronner, former executive chef at Slow Club and Serpentine, was cooking on Valentine’s Day, but not many name chefs have taken up the offer.”

Frankly that was a disappointing night. I’ll take line chefs over executive chefs any day.

And what’s with the selling-out drama? I haven’t run into that since the first few nights. Saturdays are wide open after the first seating.

I second the fucking awesome nachos! I was also impressed by Mr. Shang’s Vegan Delight – delicious.
