Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity ~ Voltaire

dinner @ chapeau!

i hosted another dinner tonight for sf foodies at this charming little french bistro, chapeau!  glad to see a few new faces that i haven't met.  the food were not as good as i remembered though.  i wasn't sure if it's because we ordered the early bird menu or if their food quality is slipping!?  hmm...  but, the company definitely made up the difference!  we had a foodie who's really into truffles and shared a lot of insights with us.  therefore, i gave him a nickname, mr. truffle man!  hehe...
