Cowboy up

Ok, when I was told "yeah, sit at my table...its the cowboy table" I didn't take it literally. I guess I should have.



Yup, this was on the wall next to the table. This is the center table across from the serving area of the kitchen...a spectacular view. As much as "Top Chef" or whatever that goofy Fox reality show is called, it is pretty close to how a kitchen is supposed to run. Watching these guys work was like poetry in motion and I really do mean it. "If you have the means, I highly recommend it."*

Unless of course you go the restaurant hungry, then I would say you should sit as far away from the kitchen as possible since you will eat or at least want to eat every d@mn thing that you watch being plated. I mean, everything looked amazing. Seriously. As luck would have it, at this point, we had been eating for about 24 hours straight so a vague sense of willpower (i.e. sharing dessert) was felt at the table.

*Ok, you really should know this quote and if you don't you should be embarrassed and ashamed.
