Amuse-bouche, bread, appetiser, fish and meat.  Dessert, petit-fours and a photograph with the chef to follow.

This was my first dinner at a three-star restaurant. Note the second photograph on the second row. It’s (from bottom to top) sea urchin, lobster jelly, green pea sauce and caviar on top. It’s Robuchon’s signature dish.

We got out of the taxi and Chef Mikuni was there, welcoming us to his restaurant. He also gave us free truffles in our main course and gave us two books at the end of our visit.

I was feeling a little blue and I was looking for something on the internet to cheer me up and Warren Ellis has a post on his tumblr pointing to a website, I Write Like, so I thought, oh, hey, why not? Warren got David Foster Wallace; I was thinking, huh, maybe it’ll tell me I write like John Steinbeck! Hell, maybe David Mitchell!!!

Sigh. Going to bed now.

PS - It’s funny. I admit it. Even I think it’s funny.

For the .0000000000001% of you who don’t know: Stephen King is Joe’s dad.
