There's some special going on where really posh restaurants in the city are opening their doors to us cheaper folks. If you book ahead, you can get a limited menu for a pretty reasonable fare considering where you're eating (it's still the price of about 5 McDonald's meals...)
Anyway, a group of us went to Quaglino's: http://www.quaglinos.co.uk
Even though I'm not a big seafood fan, I ordered the fish pie. Yea, not really sure why I did that. I think I was just too nervous to try the liver.
The night was a smashing success, topped off with a transvestite magician who stopped by our table and did some really neat tricks. Yep, you read that right. Transvestite magician at a posh restaurant. I didn't expect it either.
haha! so, um, this story still hasn't grown old.
ReplyDeleteRe: transvestite magician: Maybe they were catering to the rif raff they knew would be coming in. This is how the restaurant managers' conversation probably went:
ReplyDelete"I'm not used to dealing with people who pay less for their food. How will we entertain them?"
"Think: What did you do before you made all your money?"
"Well..."
Magician booked.
