We gathered in the dusk of a late winter evening, we lucky few, to bid a fond, and happily, a temporary farewell to
ask,
who's off to his native Norway for a couple of months. Please follow me below the orange pouffe to see our gathering:
First, the rest of the attendees:
Design the Future, looking lovely
plf515, looking thoughtful
rosalie907, at her first meetup!
...and little ol' me.
We were also joined by the ever-charming, ever-interesting, and ever-photo shy rubyr; you may not see her, but we're always glad when we do!
Now for the part of this piece you've all been waiting for: food porn!!!
this is the renowned Spitzer's Kobe burger
and here are its kids - with bacon!
grilled salmon, for the seafood lovers among us
and for the devil-may-care, deep-fried pork belly nuggets. I will leave it to you, dear reader, to speculate on who ordered what.
Of course, no Spitzer's meetup would be complete without fries, and lots of them:
She loves them so much, rubyr had the fries for dinner!
Those other things are roasted brussels sprouts. Yes, they are bar food. Yes, they are the best brussels sprouts you've ever eaten. We even managed to get the pork belly loyalist to try them. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the pork fat popcorn to share with you, but we had that too. Don't tell my doctor.
Of course the whole point of ordering fries is eating them:
and we did!
A very fine time was had by all, and we hope you'll join us next time!!!
