If it bothers you that much, you could buy your own, and have a head start when you build / buy your own home

I think we actually did that once.

Who’d a thunk it !! LOL

Aria Sydney? Had the most amazing confit pork there.

That’s a recipe i would like to try

I remember it was also with a particular pepper berry that apparently was "harvested at night on Arnhem land"

I reckon someone was having a lend of the buyer when he fell for that and took it back to Matt.

Maybe. There’s a picture of one of them recently on a Gondola in Venice. Drive Tribe.

Reposting this here as not everyone is into my travels but I think it’s cute.

I heard that distinctive vroom of a large engine/powered car.

Passed in a second. Red. Fast.

Le Bernadin looks really nice

Had an amazing meal there so definitely recommend it too.

I think it was @amaroo who had an amazing meal recently at Del Posto.

I used to recommend Bouley but he closed the Duane St site last year

If you want good (proper) Mexican then Rosa Mexicana is my go to every visit.

Babbo and the Spotted Pig remain on my to visit list. I’ve tried numerous times to get into Per Se without luck and similar with Eleven Madison Park.

Any news on your mole? And not the Mexican dish seeing we’ve been discussing food and restaurants. (I know it should be in medical threat but not sure you’d see it).

Oh no. We had 2 Christmas family dinners there, last one was in 2016. Mrs QS will miss that place - especially the ambience of the downstairs French cellar section

I know! The Prix fixe lunch was amazing.

He has new projects now.

I like Boloud Sud too - near the Lincoln Centre. And Cafe Boloud.

One of my biggest fears travelling so much in SE Asia. Very easy to "plant" drugs on someone.

Checked with Master FM and he has eaten at Le Bernardin and agrees it is amazing. He really wants to try Per Se or Eleven Madison so I am going to try when bookings open. I am building up my list of other restaurants - so thanks for these.

I agree with this. And love that you can choose your combination of dishes -like 1 main and 4 desserts

Rubirosa Pizza in Little Italy - the supreme is just that!

There are a lot of good restaurants in SFO now. Haven’t tried that one, but Campton Place and Michael Mina were both good. Particularly liked Campton Place with the Indian fusion menu.
