Alex, I haven’t eaten at Blue Ribbon Sushi, but I have eaten at Blue Ribbon Brasserie. If the quality spans over the entire group, I am pretty excited.

I’ve eaten at Bouchon Bakery, which has some freaking amazing, well, everything. Probably the best lunch I’ve had in the States.

Thanks for commenting. I didn’t realize any of my LJ friends followed my blog. :)

Truffle Scented Gruyere? Now THAT is a $45 soup and sammich I’d have to try. (To channel Jennifer Love Hewitt, I would “totally” get the truffles)

Truffle scented gruyere grilled cheese is what I expect. Relish, take note.
