A happy mistake (less the racoons, oh yes, I've been there).<BR/><BR/>Wasn't it Steingarten who wrote about his beef marrow troubles? Maybe it was Laurie Colwin.

We had reservations for 9:30 and wanted a little balance in our trip so of course we decided to patronize a local dive bar. Pool, country music, red necks and tequila poppers. Great fun! Problem was that by the time we got to The French Laundry we had already been drunk and now were hung over.
