I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Aw, Tiffani! I'm glad she seems so happy and at peace with everything, and hope that is still the case after her restaurant here closed suddenly around New Year's.

Oh, that sucks! I went to eat there shortly before moving to New Orleans and it was great. [link]

At Zaytinya, Mike just walked in. He's short. Third Top Chef sighting!

Not the chefs I'd really want to run into. Who were the first two? Did I miss a post?

No kidding. I stayed right where I was, they're both quite douchey. I'd seen Spike before, and had dinner at Volt (Bryan Voltaggio's restaurant) and chatted with him (MFNLaw was there too), so now I've seen three Top Chefs in person.

Oh, how was Volt?

Bryan was the quieter, more tightly-wound of the two, right?

Yes, the older brother. I've been to Volt but he wasn't there when I was.

I see Jill Snyder (she of the unfortunate ostrich egg incident) all the time. She works at one of our fave restaurants (Woodberry Kitchen) and they have an open kitchen.
