Chez Panisse

 For our grand finale with Nick and Nicole, we went to Chez Panisse. 

 Tak lookin' suave

 Here we are waiting to go inside. As a super special bonus, Nick brought his brother Kale, who used to work at Chez Panisee and is an all-around cool dude. He's still friends with the folks who work there, so they really hooked it up for us.

Eggplant menu

Yum

 Nick's dad got him a case of this port from his (and my!) birth year. Fance.

After dinner, our waiter took us on a behind-the-scenes tour! So cool! Here we are in the meat locker.

Big time mixer

 Here's the kitchen, and some peaches that were turned into the sherbet!

Another view + beans!

 Cheers!

We sat in our usual (haha) seats right by the oven. It was amazing, as always.
