Chile Part II: BBQ, Friends, Hipodromo
Allow me to play ‘dress-up’ for just a moment… though this was just before going to work. Fortunately my job has both given a necessity to suit wearing and the ability to buy one. What we’re working with:
Linen 2 piece suit by N. Hoolywood, Scarf by Junya Watanabe, Shirt by Thom Browne, Hat by Stetson (vintage)
Check out this super presidential photo of one of my best friends, BJ, taken at Jean Georges. We took lunch there (a modest 2 course lunch starts at $38, but you can quadruple that a little too easily), and was unquestionably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had– the food and service almost purely a learning experience.. less so in innovation (though JG is certainly known as an innovator in the kitchen), rather in the art of perfection– to put it simply, it was nice to see where the bar is set.
Also, DO Jean Georges if you want the full experience– Nougatine is half stepping.
On a side note, I’ve been trying to avoid taking a million food photos instead of eating.. here are a couple of links to see what I’m talking about: One & Two
Sickest video ever ! I immediately thought “this HAS to be Playa Avellanas”– and sure enough, the wood planked walking bridge confirmed it (as seen in this previous posting) !
I miss it so much !
