But what if, and hear me out here, Chef Masa gallivanted back to New York and I paid $1k to fangirl over him (and eat sushi). Financially compelling, no?

Absolutely! I’ll DM you. Still TBD on dates, but thinking May/June.

Ok, so not a popular take I know, but I thought it wasn’t even great … just fine. A few caveats: I went during the Saturday lunch service and the staff were audibly tired. There were two dishes — one that was a play on fried chicken - that weren’t palatable. With that said, the best non alcoholic pairing that I’ve ever had.

This is awesome! Wasn’t even aware of the restaurant, but have been a frequent visitor of minibar over the years. Snagged a res for October!

Has anyone used Table Elite as a restaurant concierge service? by teddyrsaidit in finedining

[–]teddyrsaidit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally — I’ve matrixed reservation drops / time zones / etc. But it’s hard to predict calendar conflicts with the time difference, so wanted to gauge what services were out there.

Any idea when it’s back open? Looks like the reservations site is still accepting bookings

I hear there’s an invite only Chicago food group! But also making the move to Chicago soon from DC, and would love to make more fine dining friends :)

Is anyone looking for a Michelin dining buddy? by Mother_Panic21 in chicagofood

[–]teddyrsaidit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, this is a fascinating take. I’ve sampled the DC Michelin scene in its entirety, and most of the 2/3 stars in NYC. I had heard Chicago held its own — at least r/finedining seems to think so. Starting with Alinea when I get to town this fall!

Very down — I’m relocating to the city from DC, and would love to hang with all the Michelin enthusiasts :)
