[margali]

Bwahahaha

Pen and Pencil Club, Manhattan. lunch with my dad, i was 8.

I ordered steak tartare as my dad mentioned they used real steak, 
chopped instead of ground beef like we cheated and made it at home. The 
waiter nearly had kittens, assuring us that he could take it back to the 
kitchen at any time and have the chef turn it into a hamburger...right 
until i mixed it all together and dug in...I still *love* steak tartare, 
but am very careful about making and eating it. Am i the only one who 
thinks that a caper exploding in the mouth when you bite into it is 
almost as good as a tiny caviare egg doing the same?
