What an amazing meal! What amazing company! It was a really wonderful to get out of the house and feast with friends, old and new. In another life, one of the places I worked was at a restaurant called 'wichcraft. It's an upscale sandwich restaurant that places high importance on the best quality ingredients, food that tastes good, and creating the paramount dining experience in a decidedly more casual fashion. 'wichcraft was founded by Tom Colicchio (chef and owner of the Craft family of restaurants and head judge of Bravo TV's, Top Chef), Sisha Ortuzar and Jeffrey Zurofsky. That's where I met Jenny and Sisha, both really sweet and just down right awesome people. (Jenny is a fellow bibliophile, who shares a love of fairy tales, comfort food and crafts!)
