So in my previous post on this day, I listed all the fabulous restaurants I’ve eaten at. Well Bernard pointed out that he INTRODUCED me to all the places in NYC and some in Cleveland. It’s true, as a New Yorker and a foodie, he is my goto person for food in NYC. I will happily go wherever he sends me, restaurant or theatrical performance.
We both have a story that we love to tell: Bernard, Michael, and my trip to Buddakan. We went to celebrate Michael and my birthdays. B’s roommate was the manager at the time. After we are seated, he tells Kerry to bring us whatever she wants. What followed was a series of courses were brought out and filled up our very large table. Many very expensive dishes were brought out. Too many for me to eat.
At this point, Bernard likes to talk about the look on my face. Which he describes as me thinking “Oh my god, there is so much food here! And I’m going have to PAY for this!”
I remember thinking “I’m seriously going to have to put $500 on my credit card for just my part of the bill, I know it.”
So you can imagine my surprise and relief when his amazingly generous roommate takes care of the bill for us. The food was amazing, so was the service and ambiance, but it was those events that I will always remember.
