So Very Nice
I must have been a very good girl this year because I got dinner at Joel Robuchon in my stocking. Six mind blowing courses comprised of some of the most coveted ingredients- black truffles, foie gras, oxtail, and kobe beef. A decadent chocolate dessert featuring dark chocolate shards, chocolate cream, coffee creme brulee, and gold dusted rice krispies all covered in a warm ganache. And then there were the carts- the first one with over 20 varieties of breads and rolls, later a trio of satiny ice creams, and finally, when you think you couldn't possibly eat another bite, a 3 level trolly containing every type of french cookie, marshmallows, and a gorgeous array artisanal chocolates. A meal so inspiring I can't adequately describe it at this time except to say it was a once in a lifetime experience. Being naughty is fun but for a meal that good, it pays to be nice.
Thanks Santa!

Oooh, you lucky girl! Isn't it nice to experience something you hear so much about? congrats!
Congrats on your loot from Santa...those chocolates look so wonderful!
Happy New Year!
I have always wanted to go there! I am glad it was good. I am hoping to go to The French Laundry but I think I will have to be good for another year or two to finagle that one from santa!
