My DH and I had dinner with our own DR Jose last night! He was amazingly chipper running on such little sleep. We picked him up from his hotel and headed to Rathbun's, which is a nice example of adaptive reuse in an industrial area, across from Tyler Perry's studio. Jose and I each had "Crispy Duck Breast with Thai Risotto with Green Curry Essence", which was very yummy, and Greg had chicken and mashed potatoes, which I tried, and was not impressed with. The chicken was dry and the potatoes were rather soupy. But dessert mafe up for it: "Dark Chocolate Orange Cheesecake
Grand Marnier Sabayon" which, thankfully, was a round confection about the size of a can of snuff (we are in the South) and Jose had some yummy special dessert that perhaps he will describe.
Thankfully, the restuarant is casual, since Jose's suitcase was MIA and hadn't arrived before we'd left.
We of course discussed various HHW'ers, but I hope we will discuss much more the next time I see him, which will either be tonight, at puppet beer night in The Graveyard, or Saturday, during auditions. . There were some things I wanted to find out, like the whole story of MBarnum and the fire escape...something that was discussed before I was a member and is referred to now and then.
I hope the hotel has solved their network problems and Jose will let us know how day one of auditions went. And I hope we get to see him tonight, too!
