Recognize the face on the right? If you are a fan of Top Chef you should...tonight Gma and Gpa were kind enough to babysit so Anna and I could have our first dinner in L.A. and it did not disappoint! We selected the restaurant of Season 2 Top Chef Winner Ilan Hall. The restaurant was set-up so you could see him at work the whole time...it was kind of like a Tapas Bar where Anna and I split 5 different dishes ranging from baby octopus to fries with dill, and his bacon wrapped matsoh balls which he is famous for...it was all very yummy...at the end of the meal he was kind enough to come out and pose for a photo...the other cool thing was who we were seated next to...トップシェフを見た人はこの人が誰か分かるはずです...もちろん日本の家族には？だと思うけど...：）今夜スティーブとリンダにマディソンをお子守りして貰って僕はアンナと２人きりのロマンティックデート。ディナーに向かったのはロスのダウンタウンにあるイランホール(トップシェフの２代勝者)のレストランーガーブルズ...このレストランはどこに座っていても料理をしているシェフ達が見れると言う設定、もちろんイランシェフも：）そして注文した料理はどれも美味しくとても満足でした。日本で言うと本当にお洒落な居酒屋料理かな？小さめのお皿を５品注文して分けて食べたんだけど、写真を撮らなかったが残念です...他に凄かった事はこの人の隣に座った事...
Being a big fan of the too soon canceled show Samantha Who, as soon as we entered the restaurant we recognized her and when the hostess gave us a choice of the table right next to her you better believe we took it...we also made sure we were cool and didn't want to interrupt her dinner, so we had decided we would not say anything...then we got our Grebines, a BLT where the B is fried chicken skins instead of bacon...it was yummy and Melissa asked us where that was on the menu and we said well if you're going to talk to us then we wanted to say we loved Samantha Who and then Anna asked if she was in anything now and she said Mike and Molly on CBS and we thought whoops...she is the lead of her own sitcom now we knew that...we felt quite stupid and I said something like...that's right we haven't gotten into that yet, but we will start and she said, I'll check in with you...it was all very magical...she was really nice.サマンサフー？って言う面白いコメディドラマにはまっていたんだけど、それに太った幼なじみ役で出ていた女優さん！せっかくのディナーだから邪魔しない様にと何も言わない様にしていたんだけど、僕達が頼んだ料理の一品に目が止まってそれどこにあった？って聞いて来てくれた！だからファンですって言う事が出来ました：）テレビの印象と同じとても良い人そうで良かった〜！今は違うコメディドラマの主演をしているんだよ。
So that was our big night on the town without Madison...Madison was apparently a great girl for her grandparents as well as they went to the aquarium and walked along the shore...a nice night was had by all.
マディソン抜きのデートナイトはこれでおしまいです...スティーブとリンダによるとマディソンも凄い良い子だったらしい。水族館に連れて行ってもらってとても楽しかったみたい。めでたし、めでたし。
That's good that L.A. didn't disappoint. I mean, you go out in L.A., you expect to see celebrities! :)
ReplyDeleteWay to keep your cool and not go for the photo op with Melissa.
ReplyDeleteYour dinner experience reminds of me of the movie Date Night. Both the "picture taking with celebrities" aspect and the "mistaken identity running for your lives" aspect.
