Cool, Kyomu you will probably be the only getbigger ever, past and in the future
that visited and ate there.

But how can the restaurant itself operate at a loss since the year2000
and only make money on their books?

They charge over 400USD for a meal, how can they lose money????
Wow. Who told you that!? :o

Actualy, Its true. They lose their money with restaurant.They put real super high value on quality.
Buy many to choose what they want and possibly, they give rest to someone or throw them.

And yes. They make money from those books mostly and other from event or something.
This is real truth. Cus Ferrans brother told me directly.

But why you know that? Is it famous info?

You could be right about red square. I got completely hammered there, like staggered drunk so I might be skewed.

I had rack of lamb with pesto at Marie Nicoles and I almost had sex with the plate.

I don't really fuck with nice restaurants to often since the kids don't appreciate them and I don't like the bar/restaurant scene. I went to both Mortons and Capital Grille in the last year and really wasn't impressed. Budakan however was amazing.

You have to try Karen and Rei's.
It is right outside Cape May Courthouse.
Run by a husband and wife.
They have a good website.
Don't take the kids.

Some of my favs are not really restaurants.
Some Hotel Room service food, can taste fantastic.

Here is one of my favs, excellent food and an excellent place:




I can't remember the hotel name but it is right next to the convention center where the Arnold Classic is in Columbus.  All you had to do is go over this walkway and you are in the center.  They have absolutely the best room service food I have ever had in my life bar none.  It comes from some restaurant downstairs next to the lobby.  It is unreal.  Also, in Chicago there was a restaurant where we had dinner once in our hotel and it was awesome too.  Can't remember name.  I love talking about food ;D

They won some award a couple of years ago and I read about it and the costs
in a magazine.
A friend told me the same thing, and I did some research and saw
that they still lost money on the food 2007  so it is famous info.

Been there and amazonia and fogo de chao, all outside of Dallas. Fucking great places to eat.  At Texas de brazil I asked the guy for filet that wasn't bacon wrapped about an hour later never saw it and we already paid our check, as I'm getting up to leave the guy comes runing over with a full skewer and said they made this per my request.  The waiter runs over with a plate and I obliged and ate a bunch more meat.  It was funny as hell.  They really like to stuff you with food there.

Heard about this new fine dining gimmick over in Europe someplace that is simply a very ornate table with a small walkway for the wait staff.

Once you are in your seat, you are strapped in and you and your party, the wait staff and the table are hoisted a thousand feet overhead for the ultimate in fine dining accomodations..... or so they say.

I'll see if I can locate the picture of it and post it here if successful.

I forgot to mention Charlie Palmer's at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas. It was so good that I ran into the kitchen and tipped the chef half way through my meal.

Keith, you're crazy to miss that dinner function with Uncle Joe at Michael's. If I'm there, can I go as your rep?

Speaking of hotel food, the Raleigh (on South beach) has some damn good food.


If you are ever in Miami, Barton G is a must do..... Same goes for KO PRIME if you are ever in Boston.

Best restaurants you have ever been to?

  Joel Rebouchon's in Paris, no doubt. It is worth all the 3 stars it has in the Michelin guide. Best sautéed fillet mignon au sauce bearnáise I've ever had. American food is utter crap. What passes for luxury cousine in the U.S would be regarded as middle-class every day food by european standards.

Yes, I know Nick.. One of the North ends best, but I prefer Bricco. Strega is a bit to "touristy" for me. Real estate in the North end has skyrocketed, huh.

Thats not true, be fair. A lot of the chefs cooking in American kitchens, are from Europe.
