The group of six 93ers that typically eat together had reservations at the fancier Italian restaurant called Manfredi’s. Yesterday the Chef walked by the naughty table and asked what we wanted. No, he doesn’t do that for most people. But we did get to know him pretty well. So Jan, one of the 6, asked for her favorite which is lobster ravioli in a lemon butter sauce. He said fine and how many of us want it. Most of us but I only wanted it as a first course (primo in Italian). Some had it as their Entre (secondo).
This was my pasta. Very rich and very good. But the star of the night was even more special. Here goes…………
I had lamb chops for the 50th time on this trip. Any time I asked for lamb from the Chef or Gilbert, the server behind the carving station in the World Café. They typically had lamb for anyone wanting it perhaps two times a week. But never as often as I had it. I started counting fairly early in the trip. next thing some of the lower managers in the Café started keeping track. Casper, one of the managers, decided I had to reach 50 times. It was a stretch. But I made it. And The Head Chef decided he would make it very special and deliver it to the table. Here it is.
And here is the Head Chef! Baaaa!
