HARRY POTTER SAYS, "TRYING TO GET A LAST MINUTE RESERVATION AT FRENCH LAUNDRY IS RIDDIKULUS!"DAY 2:
No word from the mysterious blogger who claims to be able to conjure up French Laundry reservations like Harry Potter's Riddikulus charms, "Riddikulus" pretty much being the reaction Michelle has gotten from most everyone when she tells them what she's trying to do. I might have actually said something more along the lines of "You're completely insane," but I totally support Michelle's endeavor to land a reservation at French Laundry during Sonoma's premier annual wine events, considering I would eat a pound of scone toads and donate all my appendages and my ears to charity for the chance to eat at French Laundry and I'm planning to live vicariously through Michelle should she successfully land her reservation. I mean, when she successfully lands her reservation.
Michelle contacted the concierge at her hotel, I will call him "Jules", because I do not know his name and Michelle is downstairs and I am too lazy to walk down there and ask her what his real name is. Jules also told her she is Riddikulus and that sadly, he lacks the clout to hand her the reservation on a platinum platter, and to eat at Cyrus instead. Cyrus is of course one of the Bay Area's finest restaurants, however, let's face it, it ain't the French Laundry. Jules is fired.
Tomorrow: WAR DIALING

If you cant get in to The French Laundry, try Bouchon, I had dinner at the one in Vegas a couple of nights ago and it was killer. Not nearly the style of The French Laundry, but still tasty and worth a visit if you haven't been there.
ReplyDeleteI will be writing about my Bouchon visit in the next day or two at www.foodandink.com. I have also heard that Brix in Yountville is tasty. I left that last comment, I'm not sure what Food & Amp is though, good luck getting in to The French Laundry!
