HUNGRY GERALD

Yes, they have arrived at HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home.  And, for a change, the trip from New York was smooth and without delays. Vicki looked beautiful and decades younger than her age. Marlon, a handsome guy, is a chef so he has the requisite lavishly tattooed forearms. Walks to the beach and welcome sea breezes after stifling New York. HG was overjoyed to see HG’s talented daughter and make Marlon’s acquaintance (The Tokyo and Rhode Island families shared the pleasure). HG daughter Vicki; her husband, Marc Meyer, the renowned farm-to-table chef, plus a long time managerial colleague, own and run five New York restaurants: Cookshop, Vic’s, Rosie’s, Shuka and Shukette. Fabulous food and caring, deft service. Gifted HG/BSK daughter, Lesley R., was in charge of dinner. There was a lush salad of avocado and tiny shrimp from a Newfoundland river. This was followed by a  Spanish dish of poached hake, thinly sliced potatoes and onions plus cherry tomatoes. Delicious. A baguette was torn into chunks to soak up the savory broth.  Happy dining, Happy reunion.
