14. Eat at the Chef’s Table at Nicholas.
So often, we take food for granted. We eat for necessity, we eat out of boredom, we eat for comfort. However, sometimes we slow down and experience food as something a bit more transcendent.
For our anniversary, Alex and I dined at our favorite place, Restaurant Nicholas. We’ve eaten there for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and random days. But for this anniversary, we did something different: ate at the chef’s table in the middle of the kitchen.
The curtain was pulled back. We got to see the magic behind the finished product. Our food surmounted functionality. It was art. Multi-sensory art. Each course was beautifully plated, and delighted all of our senses. My culinary diction is not as thorough or vivid as Alex’s, so I’ll let him take over with his review at I Cook, She Eats.
