Last Saturday was my father’s 60th birthday party and for the exciting event we all dressed up and went to this Upper East Side, straight out of Mad Men, restaurant, Le Perigord. 100% French from the waiters to the wine menu. The owner, George Briguet is the nicest 100 year old man you will ever know. He is from Switzerland and spent almost two hours explaining to my sister and I about how he’s happily married for 55 years with 7 grandchildren, how he hates cell phones, doesn’t understand Facebook relationships and most of all
“If you are ever going to listens to this old man’s advice, listen to this, DO NOT get stuck with a Loser.”
Best advice ever.
Then he proceeded to call me beautiful and smart, and then mistook me for a 17 year old, which if any of you know me, I do not mind at all.
The evening was something out of a movie, my close family members being Rockefellers talking to the owner of this 80 year old restaurant while the waiters kept refilling our wine glasses and brining on course after course of amazing desserts. It was like we were the regulars who knew him for more than 30 years.
The food, as I remember from the last time we went, was exquisite. It was the type of dinner that you could keep stuffing your face because it was so light and tasteful. I had to have had over 6 courses and by the end of the night I didn’t feel full or bloated, I felt satisfied.
If anyone of you is ever on the upper east side of Manhattan I strongly suggest dropping four figures on a dinner here.
Now, for the food; (I apologize in advance for the shotty pictures, I do not usually end up with such a blurry mess but I was a bit tipsy and couldn’t hold the camera quick so still)
Our first dish was a small appetizer consisting of radish root, beets, cucumber, salsa and calm and this creamy vinaigrette dressing.
Second dish, the appetizer, Saumon fumé Maison et madeleine de maïs, crème aigre et caviar de saumon, homemade smoked salmon and corn muffin with sour cream and salmon caviar
Third dish Le homard a la nage de coriandre
Lobster with coriander broth
My uncle had Filet d’agneau a la barigoule
Loin filet of lamb “au jus ” with artichoke hearts and carrots
My dad had Carré d’agneau rôti á la croûte de thym frais
roasted rack of lamb with a fresh thyme crust
Fourth Dish Chocolate Soufflé
Fifth Dish Raspberry Pie
Sixth dish Fresh Raspberries with French Vanilla and Chocolate mousse
Seventh Dish Giant Moose chocolate cake
The ending cocktail BAS ARMAGNAC supposedly the best cognac there is so my uncle said. We ended up drinking 2 bottles, and by us, I mean my father, uncle and Mr. Briguet.
I do believe it was one of the best experiences of my life so far, as a foodie being treated at a restaurant like royalty is an utter joy. I hope to have many more moments like that in my life, hopefully ones where I can wine and dine clients like my uncle has done there for so many years.

omg shoes.
So, as you know I am addicted to shoes. Unfortunately something recently occurred to me that has struck me very upset.
In the picture below you will notice a pair of turqoise pumps by the name of TRINITIE by Steve Madden in Size 6
Unfortunately, I sold these a while back and now I am kicking myself for it.
DO YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW, HAVE THESE IN A SIZE 6, OR KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THEM?! I AM SO DISTRAUGHT WITHOUT THEM!
Please contact me IMMEDIATELY if you have found them! I MUST HAVE THEM BACK!
