(TW: NOT LOW CARB!) May I tell you about my yesterday? It was fabulous! Met our friends at the movies to see “Forever Golden: A Tribute To The Golden Girls.” Our friend Ron Furuyama invited us to a lovely impromptu dinner party beforehand and I got to play his gorgeous 6-foot Kawai grand piano with his kittycat Cali. His spread was so classic and elegant and thoughtful: a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc Bordeaux, smoked salmon appetizer, duck liver pâté with olives and cornichons, caesar salad with homemade dressing, a wonderful fromage et jambon quiche with hot and crispy pomme frites. And in honor of The Golden Girls, what else but a classic New York style cheesecake for dessert! All served with Baccarat crystal and vintage Bauhaus flatware seated beneath two Picassos and THEN he chauffeured us to the theatre in his electric BMW. 💅🏻💃👠 EAT YOUR HEART OUT, FRIEDA CLAXTON! 🙃 (Thank you, Ron!!!)

Absolutely the best pork chop I’ve ever eaten. Almost 2” thick and covered in mushroom cream sauce. Perfectly cooked and so juicy it melts in your mouth. Also duck confit over asparagus. A FANTASTIC French meal with friends in the neighborhood.
