I ate at Chez Panisse the night after 9/11.
I should have flown to NY that day, but I was instead stranded in SF.
And went from Chez Panisse to hear Thich Nhat Hanh speak at the Town Hall.
A strange surreal evening, in the company of a beautiful woman, with this really phenomenal food, and the world turned upside down around us…
A reminder, also, that our memories of food are inextricably linked with place, people and events.
