Life is good. Last year we got to eat at Momofuku Seiobo, and this year we’re trying out another of the world’s best: Grant Achatz’s Next Restaurant in Chicago. My friend Kel tipped me off on Saturday that tickets were on sale for the next menu, “Keiseki”. (Achatz has pioneered theater-style ticketing where you pre-pay a set fee and everything is included. Each “menu” is specific to a particular time and place. Keiseki, as you might guess, is Japanese.) As we’re going to be there around New Year’s, it was an opportunity I couldn’t refuse. I bit the bullet and bought us two tickets for December 29th at 10pm.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
