My sympathies to you and your folks, Jessica.
Seriously -- $400 for a 30-course Omakase dinner? Yeah, I *love* me some sushi, but that's INSANE.
Most of the best meals of my life were among the most expensive (though THE most expensive was merely okay), but there's not enough of a quality difference between the $50-60/plate treats and the normal $25-30 casual dining for me to believe that a $400 meal could possibly be worth that much.
I actually went looking for that stuff last week at a store that the Batter website said carries it, but it wasn't there.
Yeah. Your boss is clearly having problems that are exterior to you, and he knows you best and is taking it out on you. He needs to step off.
Seriously. I hope Allyson didn't go to the party, unless she could guarantee not to have to talk to the suck-ass boss.
Typo, are you planning on being in the room with the people when they eat the food? I think you're fine.

I noticed the article specifed a la carte, which isn't an option at Herb Farm.
Ah. I skimmed.
(We'll do Herb Farm in 2009, I guess. For our 10 year.)
We might do it the same year for the same reason. I'm keeping Canlis as the publication celebration place because I drive by it at least twice a week, and it's become sort of a symbol of my resolve to keep writing and never give up. I see it and think, Someday.
Am back from vacation. Was...interesting. Some good, some bad.
ita, thought of you lots. Mostly when the staff were giving us the stink-eye for cooing over (and feeding) the stray cats.
Allyson's boss needs to fuck himself. Or, you know, do his own personal shit and deal with how it comes out.
TB, if you're washing your hands and not sneezing in the food, you should be okay.
Timelies all!
Went to gaming tonight. It was at a Potbelly sandwich shop.(It used to be in the common area of an apartment complex, but we can't use it anymore)
I have trouble believing Canlis is the priciest restaurant in these parts. Yes, it's expensive and iconic, but I thought the Herb Farm would set you back more $$.
I find it hard to believe the French Laundry in Napa isn't on that list (not that I've gotten to go there, but it is crazy expensive). I wonder if that's potential al a carte meals.
They took the cheapest option on the menu and compared that.
