For Dustin’s birthday last year, I took him to Chez Spencer which we found by chance on Yelp. We ordered the multi-course set menu with wine pairing and left incredibly happy. Both of us decided it was the best food we had ever had - which was saying a lot as Paris, Tokyo, New York, London and several other key foodie cities’ restaurants dishes had been on our tongues. Mind you, it wasn’t cheap, so we filed it as a ’special occassion’ date location. As we both age regularly, eventually it was my birthday and we were anxious to return and delight in their culinary splendor.
It was better than we remembered. Every time I tasted a new course, I felt as though I could only eat that dish for the rest of my life and be happy. I could see my taste buds reflected in Dustin’s face, eyes closed, shaking his head in disbelief, lips turned up in a coma of contentedness. Chez Spencer, will you marry us?
