A BITE Then we’ll hook up — I mean, we’ll meet up. We’ll go to Lincoln Restaurant. Alicia was the maître d’ at Per Se for a number of years. I was a customer. We would work at events, and I saw her there. We met. We got to be friendly. And then we got to be friendlier. The chef at Lincoln used to work with Alicia, Jonathan Benno. We’ll see if J. B. is there and go for a bite. I’ll have some kind of egg in tomato sauce. Maybe I’ll even have a piece of fish.

HUNTING AND GATHERING If we can, we go to a farmers’ market; if not, we go to Whole Foods. Maybe we get truffles from Gourmet Attitude. Celine is a friend of ours and she gets the best truffles. She was so happy to hear that Alicia and I were together, because she knows Alicia from Per Se and me from the neighborhood. She was like, “Oh, my god, I can’t believe it!” and she gave me this massive truffle.
