and today, i eat

lots of things have happened since i last posted on this blog. i turned 28. i went hiking in the catskills. i sprained my ankle. i camped for the first time. i canoed (17 miles!) for the first time. i ate mac 'n cheese from a box for the first time in two years. i clocked a year with gbang. i bought the most beautiful dress, EVAR! and oh, i changed jobs.

but today, something truly monumental is happening: i am finally, finally, FINALLY, going to bite into the (in)famous $32 daniel boulud burger at db bistro moderne. it's ground sirloin, packed with short ribs and goddamn foie gras, served on a parmesan bun with a heap of pomme frites. how do you get short ribs inside a burger? how do you get shortribs and foie gras inside a burger? will a lump of melty goose liver be wrapped in ribs then cloaked in sirloin? do i really need twice-fried potatoes to accompany my meal? is any hunk of ground cow really WORTH a meal for two at most of my favorite restaurants?

these are questions that shall be answered, my friends. thanks to RA for being one of my favorite gossipy, carniverous, healthy-appetite publicist friends ... if i don't have a heart attack on site, i will report back shortly.
