    I assume that's a restaurant in London Wop? I assume it's delicious food since you went back there, would it be a good place to hint at my husband for next anniversary?

    It never fails to impress (food wise) whenever I bring people there to entertain.

    Yes, it's in London, just next to the Ivy.

    The second one looks like it was plated with a more artistic eye, hence the "sloppy" look. The first one actually looks boring by comparison.

    That may be but either way, for that kind of money its bad plating day to day. And why hasn't anybody addressed the herb salad pile on the plate? Seriously diminishes either serving for me (I mean I could be wrong but that looks like a pile of cilantro/dill and not some green veggie)

Kevin James, Rosario Dawson, and god damn Dr. Ken "Leslie Chow" Jeong were there, it was an open bar, and it just completely ended up being an awesome night (i wasn't looking forward to it that much before getting there, i didn't know Dr. Ken was going to be there)! i was hanging out with him most of the time once i saw him, and he was extremely cool in acting like a drunk dickhead like myself. we kept joking about putting him in my trunk naked and bringing him to my friend's house and other shit like that. what a cool guy. at one point he was behind the bar scanning my ID to make sure it was real and just doing funny stuff like that (my name is Zack). when i have a long beard, which i did then, people say i look exactly like Galifianakis, which added to the laughs. i met Kevin real quick too but he was pretty much swarmed with people around him the whole time, and the same with Rosario. another great part of the night was talking to the head sound engineer, i wish i could remember his name, but he was explaining how they chose her work as a place for filming because it was far enough away from the highway and things like that. it was interesting. ok i'll shutup, sorry for the derail, it's just that this is the first thing i'll think of any time someone mentions that bar.

    As much as I would love to try these fancy meals, and seeing that I'm a fellow New Hampshire resident, I think it would just be too expensive, and since I'm one of the pickiest eaters alive fancy food tends to look really gross to me.

    Go to Clio. The Chef has won a James Beard award and competed (and beat) Cat Cora in Iron Chef America. They have a foie gras there that is the size of a steak. Expect to spend some money (my fiance and I spent $250 for the two of us). It has a dress code too, so be prepared for that.

    I sure hope the actual meals at Bond (one of the restaurants at The Langham) is better than the stuff they served us at this hospitality shindig I went to today.. I mean shit if they're serving this garbage to people in the same industry i have to fear what they serve to the general public!
