Sounds better than great.
Ah, Il Laboratorio gelato. The new cult stuff.
See you there Vanessa!
Where are the live reports?
If not live, then remembered. If not remembered, then made up?
Really, how was this? It's an intriguing menu.
Maybe no one went?
It was packed!
Packed, yes, but did anyone eat and drink?
Everyone.
Great. How was the food?
Also, on the Empire Apple Flatbread with Il Laboratorio Gelato flavored with Eric Texier Noble Rot 2000: which is flavored with the Noble Rot, the apple flatbread or the gelato? If the gelato, is this commercially available? Do they ship to California or is it available here? Thanks, Joe.
Food was great.
Thanks, Joe. Sounds like a great success. Good notes, but that comment on the savignin is way out of line, don't you think?
Mr. Dressner:
I've run out of material. Any ideas? |
