Merry Fucking Christmas

Or happy holidays, or whatever.

We are celebrating at the Restaurant Whore household by eating a huge Christmas Eve feast last night (despite there only being two of us to partake in it), stuffing stockings full of artisanal chocolates and preparing for an evening of Chinese food love at Ton Kiang. And by comforting a certain Diner #3, who celebrated the holiday by refusing to sleep. Good times. I'll count my blessings, though, that he still seems to enjoy sleeping in restaurants...

Spork and Serpentine to come in the new year. Pinky swear.

If you really miss me, you can always buy my book.

I hope you and yours enjoy this time of year and that you are surrounded by love and, of course, really good food.

Priorities

I'm not sure I could suck anymore. Sorry for the lack of posts 'round here as of late. I have not been to any new restaurants to speak of (although Local is on the docket), but Diner #3 has been whooping it up all around town. So without further adieu, let me present the list of restaurants that he has shown his face in during his first 26 days of life:

• Pastores
• Just for You (twice)
• Delfina (twice. He was 5 days old on his first visit.)
• SPQR (twice)
• Zuni (twice)
• Boulevard (I shit you not. He was a rockstar.)
• Sebo (The only place he stayed awake. Good thing you can eat sushi with one hand.)
  
• Buckeye Roadhouse
• Slow Club
• Coco500 (He's even been behind the bar there)
• Out the Door
• Slanted Door
• Old Port Lobster Shack
  
• Ton Kiang (twice, not including his first night home when an angel brought us takeout)

And that's all I have to say to all you bitches who said we wouldn't go to restaurants once we had a kid. "Sleep when the baby sleeps" my ass -- Go to a restaurant when the baby sleeps!
