A $0.65 fountain drink that ended up costing me $30.65 after an unexpected overdraft due to a netflix monthly charge (random timing)that I didnt know of. [/ QUOTE ] Ouch. Hope that was some good Barq's root beer.

Trip report please. [/ QUOTE ] We started with some cocktails, Kir Royale. Every french meal starts with an "aperitif". My first course was this delicious and well-known Black truffle soup. It was unbelievable. The flavor of the truffles was so esquisite and the consistency of the soup was just perfect. My next course was Beef Rossini with a Perigueux sauce which is also truffle based and was served with vegetables (I do not remember which ones). The beef was so tender, the weight of the knife was enough to cut it. I believe the wine chosen was a mature Claret, I do not recall the name though. Next course was of course the cheese and salad. I chose a salad with warm goat cheese on toast. Excellent. Dessert was an assortment of small pastries. What was very spectacular about this place was the surroundings. The place is charming and very intimate. There is a beautiful garden behind it where you can sit and enjoy a nice cognac. An unforgettable experience.

No digestif? Also, aren't you French? Claret, not Bordeaux? I'd like to go to Lyon. [/ QUOTE ] I did have a cognac in the garden. I am french but I thought I would use the chiefly British name. Sorry to disappoint. If you have the opportunity to travel to France, I would highly recommend to stop there. It is worth the trip and the money. I was introduced to Mr. Bocuse and got to talk to him for a few minutes. It was just an incredible experience.

Most expensive meal: Charlie Trotter's. Also the best meal I've had. I had the Grand Menu (the Kitchen Table was booked) and a different 1/2 (1/4?) glass of wine with each course. Obligatory truffle story: In college, we mannaged to get school funding for the Gourmet Cooking Club. It was sweet. Per ounce, the most expensive thing I made was twice-baked potatoes. They were made with white truffle oil and had ~1.5" of thinly sliced black truffles on top. Yum.

Does it help your "performance"? [/ QUOTE ] I'd be happy to elaborate on the circumstance if anybody cares, but for now I'll simply answer: Yes, remarkably. I've never taken any pills (still young), but I can't imagine them being any better than this drink.
