The only thing I would be all over there is the oysters.

One way or the other it looks like it would cost me a lot to leave there hungry. What did you go with?


All of it. That was the dinner menu. It was fantastic.


That's one of the things I like about tapas or dim sum restaurants. You can try a couple of everything and not feel like a pig. The progressive bill can be hard to keep up with, though.


That's the nice thing about a prix fixe menu - you know the total ahead of time.

Even if it's impossible for your not price fixed menu to add up to half your price fixed menu.

Not impossible. It would be easy to ring up a grand ordering off the regular menu.

I've never tasted foie gras but some say it's animal abuse. It's banned in quite a few countries around the world. I'd probably still want to know what it tastes like though.

They had Jöel Robuchon on Top Chef once as a guest judge. They pretty much revered him. He's the "Chef of the Century" in French food.

Were you at all hungry after the meal was over? Go out for Big Macs like I would have?

Put those two places beside an Old Country Buffet, another place I haven't eaten, and I think it's time for some triple fountain yum.


You must gain a taste for these things. To a point you don't ever want to go back. Till then...
