Sar mailed me from Paris last night to mention having gone to Le Relais de Venise with a relative. It’s a restaurant that’s famous for its Steak Frites and only serves that. She mentioned the New York branch opening and I had read about it earlier in the week. I met Wilmar for lunch today and found we were standing outside of it. I refuse to be outdined, even if Sar is on a fancy trip overseas.
Fortunately for a place that only does one dish, they serve a really good Steak Frites. You get some bread and a salad. You get half your Steak Frites. When you’re done, they bring you the second half. Excellent. I’m not quite sure what the sauce was… butter.. . pepper… something something. I really enjoyed it.
And it’s kind of like going to dinner with her, even if she is overseas.
