Post #1 - February 12th, 2009, 1:01 pmLTHers,
I'm planning to dine solo at the bar at the Bristol this evening. My Julia Child book is good company, but I'll put her away if any LTHers care to join. I should get there between 5:45 and 6.

Post #3 - February 12th, 2009, 3:22 pmI have been wishing to try the Bristol. Traffic permitting, I will be there between 5:45 and 6:00.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik

Well, you missed a hell of a dinner. More (hopefully including pictures) later.

Post #7 - February 12th, 2009, 9:05 pmMy gratitude to Kennyz for organizing this dinner and exposing me to Bristol, which is as close as Chicago comes to Fergus Henderson's St Johns (London): eating from tail to snout. Chicken hearts that could break your heart. Beef marrow. Sweetbreads that weren't prepared like a corn dog. And $50/each for the four of us for about twelve different dishes and cocktails.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik

It was a nice surprise to have such excellent dinner companions after a very last-minute post.
