I will go home tonight and soak up the silver bible, choking on the complicated French cooking terms that never make it into the standard dictionary, and fight a losing battle against my raging jealousy. Thank heavens for that case of Chateauneuf-du-Pape I bought in Calais last week. I don't know which angel it is that smiles down on you Clancy, but how about putting in a few well chosen words for me. Wow….. all I can say is Wow.

I'm so impressed! and jealous! The meal sounds amazing, as well as the wine. Though with that much free flowing food and wine, I think I would have been under the table at the end of the night. WOW!

As far as gossip...I was pretty focused on the eating and drinking bit..possibly a little too focused on my Veuve guzzling ..so didn't do very well with keeping my ear to the ground (very remiss of me I know) but M Ducasse apparently thinks Neil Perry was robbed not getting three hats for Rockpool on tuesday... Apart from that aparently Alain travels with an interpreter even though he speaks English...he seemed like a lovely man...very unassuming... someone also told me that before he agrees to cook anywhere he gets someone to measure the distance from the kitchen to the farthest table and they check the ambient temp in the dining room and then one of his people crunches some numbers to figure out exactly how many serving staff are required and he'll only do the gig with the correct amount of staff... barbara, I love Tets too... another unassuming genius missy helgs,
