They celebrated the event at Chez Anthony and Georges…
The restaurateurs like celebs…
And the celebs, in general, love restaurants;
Olga opted for a gazpacho a l’arugula and semi-cooked lobster with yam mash,
Jed for pan-seared scallops and baby-turbot and caraway soufflé with its Passe-Crassane pear emulsion.
Anthony came to join them for dessert
Wearing his kitchen apron
And brandishing a bottle of Bas-Armagnac Castarede 1905.
The finale of prune and rancio
Was the typical example
Of a mature eau de vie
Long on the finish,
With a note of fine old leather at the last…
Olga breathed in at length
And with delectation,
The bouquet of the Armagnac,
Before wetting her lips.
She was adopting marvelously
Well to France,
It was difficult to believe that she had spent her childhood
In a block of flats in a Moscow suburbs.
“How is it that the new chefs,” she asked after her first sip—
“I mean the chefs who get talked about—
Are almost all homosexuals?”
