If I Had To Choose My Last Meal…

Desserts At SusurEarlier this evening I booked dinner reservations for Jack and I at Susur, for tomorrow night. You see, when I read about Susur months and months ago, on my favorite foodie blog, I fell instantly in love with the idea of eating there.  It was added to My Bucket List in the hopes that one day I could justify the outrageous price via some ultra special occasion.  By special occasion I mean something along the lines of Jack and I renewing our vows...or the day the kids leave the nest. However, it was drawn to my attention some weeks ago that Susur is scheduled to be closed for business on May 31st of this year. Susur Lee, owner and chef, plans to move to Manhattan and open a new place there. That news certainly threw a wrench in my plans to cross Susur off of my list anytime in the distant future.  If I wanted to achieve that particular goal, it had better be soon.  Like, tomorrow. Due to the fact that the restaurant is soon closing, there is only one dining option available; a six-course tasting menu.  If you're not familiar, a tasting menu is generally a set of dishes prepared by the chef, based on what they feel like making.  You have no input, beyond informing your server of any dietary restrictions.  This is a truly fabulous way to eat, and often the best way to experience the purest talent of the chef in question.  If you've never done so I encourage you to try it. To say that I am giddy about this dinner date is likely the understatement of the year.  In fact, it could prove to be the most incredible dining experience of my entire life.  Lee is one of the top 50 chefs in the entire world.  Seriously, think about that for a moment, it's amazing!  And I get to EAT HIS FOOD!  I may well explode from excitement to be honest with you. Certainly you'll hear more about it later this week, but for now I'll try to keep my squealing and jumping up and down to myself, LOL.
