Leeeeaaaving, blah-blah Jet Plane...

OK, kids. Here's the deal. I've got one restaurant related post that I'll get up this week for y'all (pretty pictures courtesy of C included).

But then? Then, my life turns to shit for two weeks. Well, no, that's not true. I have two weeks of travel hell, but only ten days of true shit. The last five days are  going to be pretty and shiny once we get there.

So, posting might be light, and that which there is is likely to be snarky and bitchy at times. But, if you are interested in joining me on my travel to hell and back, check out my Twitter, which I'm currently a little in love with. I was thinking about putting a badge up there on the right somewhere, but thought it would detract from the LOVELY design of this site. {snort} and also {hint-hint... you know who you are}. And if you're into the whole "stalker-vibe" thing, you can send a text to 40404 with "Follow fkhatibloo1" and you'll get my updates as texts to your phone. Freaky, huh?

Anyway - tasty lunch at the new Cesar on Piedmont Avenue to come. And then? Who knows. But keep with me, and if you feel like sending notes of fortitude from time to time, I'd love to hear from 'ya.

In the meantime, check out the heinousness of this itinerary... food recommendations in any of the cities mentioned would be graciously accepted.

Vancouver! West, Vij's (and/or Rangoli), Kirin for dim sum (preferably the location across from City Hall, not the one 'downtown'). Sooo jealous.

[Anita]

Ack... I missed Boston on my first read-through. Don't skip East Coast Grill in Cambridge. Suggestions on what to order here: http://marriedwithdinner.com/archives/56

Hang tough!

I am relying on the fact that in just a few hours time you will be able to give me my own personal twitter demo. (pretty please?) Then you'll never leave me again.

[Melissa]

Whuuuh! Best of luck, dear. By the time you return, we'll have a new batch of duck confit in the fridge. I'm just sayin'...

I'll second the East Coast Grill if you've time in Boston. And Toscanini's for ice cream.

[C]

So help me god Fatemeh, if you eat at Toscanini's w/o me... there WILL be trouble... BIG TROUBLE!

\\Well, on second thought, perhaps I'll see fit for you to take in a micro sundae; that seems a fair compromise (albeit a bit of torture, but all is fair in love and war).

2nd rec for West in Vancouver and if you like sushi you need to sit at the sushi bar in Tojo's and get the omakase. (they allow you to do a smaller version if you want a smaller meal) He is a total character and the meal was perfection.

I live in Boston...there are a lot of great options but it depends on what you are looking for.

Emily,

For SURE on the Omakase Bar @ Tojo's; we've got a 7:30 reservation on Saturday night... I've been yammering at Fatemeh for years now about just how f'ng good it is (and how entertaining he is); now she'll finally get to find out for herself!

;)

No NYC on this jaunt eh?

Next time I hope!

[kungfoodie Kat]

Was going to reco Vij's but I see someone beat me to it. So yea...you HAVE to eat there. Try the lamb popsicles. And when you get back into town maybe, just maybe, I'll lend you my Vij's cookbook. Heh (or of course you can buy your own while there)

*sigh*

I love Vancouver.

[Beth]

Wow. Sounds nuts! Hang in there!!!

[shuna fish lydon]

right before heading into service at Gramercy Tavern, I would turn to my partner and say, "Here we go, yo," quoting Tribe Called Quest.

After having a meal cooked by Kat $ drew from the Vij's cookbook, I beg of you to go there and eat the real deal.

Drink lots of water and things without sugar in the car rides. & know that great music and great love await you and the end of Dante's tour!

Oh good, glad to hear it C! I had the meal before flying home and my husband joked that I was beaming through all the travel hassles and the whole long flight. This would not be my normal travel behavior at all.

I hope she writes it up in the blog!
