Rich, Jay and Rockpile made it to Nick's today.
I ordered early and left early (#@%$^ work anyway!).
We had a staggered gathering. I arrived at 11:30, ordered at 11:45, was eating my R.Rich special Plate when Jay showed up at noon, and Rich arrived at 12:15.
Great plates today. The sensory contrast between sizzling hot dog/burger/home fries and the cold mac salad was almost too good to appreciate.
My only regret is that I could not stay longer. On the plus side, I was primed for a meeting with the im-PO-tant managers and as SME I believe I "sold" our support for a new client and accounts in 5 cities from Manhattan to the OC. I chugged half a bottle of water before the meeting to delay caramelization. Woo-hoo!
We did our part, the rest is up to The Bills.
