GFJ: It stinks to have 1% taste and a conflicting 99% bank account....

Are you worried that my 99% bank account can’t keep up with my 1% taste? I am… I mean, I make a pittance for a salary but go out and drink martini’s and eat Chicken Hash at 21 Club.. And, I do so unapologetically…Tis the season to Eat like a Chunkball, Drink like a Fish and Spend like the Sultan of Brunei… Come January 2012 you can make ammends to your waistline, liver and bank account.

Random fact about the “Toys” at 21 Club: 1931- A model of the British Airways “flying boat” is the first corporate toy hung from the ’21′ ceiling. The second came from Howard Hughes. He saw the BA “flying boat” and felt it was free advertising and insisted upon donating an airplane himself.

Did you know that all the antique toys and memorabilia have been donated by clients?

BREAKFAST: Fage with Strawberry and Raw Sunflower Seeds
LUNCH: Asparagus, Roasted Potatoes and Leftover Chicken with Sage
DINNER: Feast at 21 Club…. The Dirty Martini’s there are fierce.. As are the cheese-straws at the bar…..

Creamy Chicken Hash*, mornay sauce, Bloomsdale spinach, Gruyère crust, toast or wild rice... I was trying to be "healthy" so I went with the wild rice. I really should've embraced the Chunkball season and gone with the toast.

Grilled Octopus, artichoke barigoule, preserved Piennolo cherry tomatoes, black olive and anchovy dressing ...I'm very OBSESSED with grilled octopus.
