The best part of this post is that not only does it provide an opportunity to share some memorable calories I've enjoyed over the years. But, more importantly, I want to use it as a platform to bestow onto you all the expensive restaurants that I've been to and that either by misfortune, ignorance or simply affordability, you have not had the occasion to enjoy such places. I'm not only a better person for going to these establishments, but if it is not clear by now, I am a better human being than you. If you've been to any of these places, I'll have you know that I was personally invited. And if you were invited, then I helped prepare the meal with the chef, and if you can match that, then read on young fellow, because it sounds like I found a new friend.
