Start with a sunny Monday and report to neighborhood joint for birthday lunch with the dynamic duo.
Allow server to insist on a glass of Tenuta San Pietro Gavi di Gavi due to the occasion. Savor a pizza of fig (a nickname since childhood), chicken, red onion and Brie which arrives unbidden.
Add in card and gift opening (including a book of musician Ryan Adams' poetry...sigh) and well wishing of staff, making for lip prints left on multiple cheeks.
Caesar salad with grilled shrimp and Caprese with pesto follow, as does discussion of upcoming shows, birthday requirements and the pleasure of being thanked on an album cover (you're very welcome, guys).
As if so much stellar food and drink weren't enough, server arrives with lit candle in tiramisu.
Chef comes over to congratulate me on turning 32 (as if) and my birthday lunch at Bistro 27 winds down after two plus hours.
Time to move on to the next step of the festivities...
