Now I am curious how your dingy coat looks like!
Your story always make me laugh. Thank you for sharing your story :-)

Too funny. I love how sometimes the context eclipses the food. Also, on your earlier post, I second your love of restaurant supply stores although I am equally guilty of plunking down far too much at Williams-Sonoma.

I visited one while seeing friends in NY (restaurant supply store not W-S) and was shocked at how cheaply I could get a basket to use for deep frying and a nice, deep stainless steal pan w/ lid I plan on using to store homemade ice cream/gelato.

Garrett - I know this is an old post, but it's flippin' hilarious. You do find yourself in the funniest/strangest situations. I just read that 55's chef, Luc Dendievel, is now executive chef at the Willard InterContinental in D.C.

Too bad 55 closed... the food there was really great.

Well DARN!! After following your link to this post...

Well DARN!! After following your link to this post, I clicked over to Restaurant 55's website (via your link)... figuring I might stop by and check them out when I'm back in the area in June.

But alas, they are no more :-( Have you heard where Chef Luc Dendievel has landed???

Thanks for the post, anyway!

Haha! It happened to me too- two or three times when I used to live in a really dodgy area of London. It was almost next door to a 'massage parlour' so I guess I shouldn't have been that suprised.

Anyhow, it sounds like you were a lot more polite to that guy than I was to the ones who tried enquiring about my services.

You know.. I really really wanted to concentrate on the cheese part of this post... but seriously the prostitution mix-up bit was just way too distracting! Classic!!!

Some friends of mine and I had a similar thing happen to us when I was in college in Ft Lauderdale... while trying to cross A1A some slimey old guy lurched up in his car... we thought he was gonna ask for directions.. so in turn we went to his window... boy what a shocker!!!

Sho'nuff! I've also been pimping food bloggers' Cafe Press wares on ThisNext, so I'm already in the pimping bidness. So we both have fallback careers. :-)

Kim - Thanks, I totally forgot about those. Best pomme frites ever.

Beastmomma - Damn striaght. I can't help how hot I am.

Sean - You'll be my pimp though, right?

Jeni - Nothing, and I mean nothing, berat Thai and Indian food. You'll get a cupcake soon. I promises. :3

Jennifer - 99 degrees is the slight fever I was sporting that night, though it was probably more than that.

Wow, I can't believe you were asked that. Unbeliev...

Wow, I can't believe you were asked that. Unbelievable.

When you said "99 degrees" were you talking about the weather? Because I hear you guys have had some really weird (read: HOT) weather in California. Bizarro.

My son's ex-fiance introduced me to a little bit of Thai food and I love it. Your words here really make me hungry!

Now, as Cookie Monster would say (if he changes his food venue, of course) "ME WANT CUPCAKE!"

Good summary of our dinner, G. I can certainly contest that you did not resemble a prostitute in any way Saturday night.

I will add to your post that the pommes frites that accompanied your mussels were quite addictive and again, enough to feed three. The side of mayo was a nice touch, too.

And a quick correction: M. is not, at this point in time, my hubby. He's simply my DP. ;)

Glad you're feeling better, BTW.
