godforsaken city...

"i hate this godforsaken city where u have to effing drive everywhere!...i bet there is half as much casual sex as back in NY" - danny lax.

california is an ordeal. so is hanging out with danny lax. when u put the two together, it's one big mess. he made reservations for 7.30 @ comme ca and his poor buddy got there 10 minutes early. right as alexia and i hit the freeway, i get the call "hey can you come pick me up? i just got a flat tire. i hit the curb while checking the gps on my iphone". (that's what saving 15 bucks on a non-gps rental car does to you). so we pick him up and danny, being the distracted inconsiderate patron of the hilton, is completely disinterested with the manager who's helping him fix his flat tire. as he walks away i ask if he tipped the manager. he replies "oh, i should huh?" hahaha....ten minutes later....i hear him talking aloud in the backseat "i wonder if i can expense the 20 dollar tip on the company"...!!!!

as for comme ca? it's like a subpar balthazaar, pastis, schillers, and the list goes on. wine was good. oysters were good. bone marrow was good, but when a bag of bones cost 2 dollars and they're charging 14..ehhhh. alexia's veal shank was good. impressive plating with a two long shank bones sticking upwards. boulliabaisse was not good. i dont think lax's scallops were good, nor were michaels steak frites.

my house. and the waitress asks "do you drink cognac?"
"no, im not black"
