Let the Artists Not Starve!
Posted by Che on Monday, 8 February 2010
Every now and then, if you’re lucky, a dining excursion turns into one of those clean, well-lighted moments. It’s like when the light falls on you through a stained-glass window—rare, and a little bit transformative.
Last Friday, I got to watch a couple of guests have that experience. It’s hard to dissect, as an observer, when the transformative part kicked in—did it happen as soon as she sat down? When her friend arrived? When the semolina bread sent up steam from the table?
Anyway, when I saw her pull out a Polaroid camera with the size and gravitas of a Luger pistol, I figured something special was happening. So I asked her if she’d send us the pictures she took. And she did. Have a look. (And not just at ours, but at her whole site. It’s lovely.)
Here’s a secret: servers always hope for those moments, too.
