Re: last night's birthday dinner.
There's a lot of discussion on the foodie sites lately about the growing trend of going to restaurants and ordering a lot of small plates, appetizers really, and sharing. Restaurateurs and chefs are finding their customers really enjoy this kind of plating, and are encouraging it more and more.
Without knowing what was planned for our esteemed one's dinner, I pointed out on one of the boards that Chinese restaurants have always been this kind of experience.
So, cheers to our esteemed BK (and the Pattis mere et fille) for leaping to the forefront of trendy dining!
