Yowza.  It's good to be ECHGF.

"Mélange de Boules"

I don't know what that is, but it sounds kinda dirty.

I should mention that both of the dips are served in a whole roasted pepper.

The Devil's Lollipops are magical little meat nuggets skewered on a lemongrass stalk and grilled.

And the Angel Nipples, well, there's a reason I call them that.

"Mélange de Boules"

I don't know what that is, but it sounds kinda dirty.

It's a pretentious way of saying "basket of assorted bread rolls".

I was disappointed for a second, then I remembered who I was speaking with. 

They're gonna put you in a cage one day, ECH.  Children will poke you with sticks, between the bars.

Awesome looking menu.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Wowza.

Oh, and all the herbs (and the scallions) are locally sourced. As in, from the herb garden on my balcony. Hooray for eastern/southern exposure!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Goddamn that sounds delicious! She is a lucky lucky lady.

And you aren't a Master Chef, how?

Well, I guess not-Master Chef is going to be Master Chief on that evening (no, that wasn't misspelled).
