19. Corduroy
Those of you who follow me on Twitter already know this, but this Friday night I was taken down by food poisoning. Taken down, and taken down hard. I’m pretty tough when it comes to all things medical, but this being my first bout with food poisoning, I thought it was pretty miserable. And what was the source of my pain? That would be number nineteen on our hit parade—Corduroy.
Needless to say this post will be short because I don’t exactly want to relive the experience, but here’s what little I do have to say: the restaurant is West Elm-chic, the service was impeccable and the food tasted great. Had I sat down to write this post an hour after eating, it would have said some very different things.
But I didn’t write this immediately, so here we stand. And let me say, I’m not trying to start an Internet campaign to take down Corduroy or anything. I think these things happen and the fact that I’ve probably eaten no less than 300 dishes with seafood in them in the past year and not gotten deathly ill is a miracle. However, it’ll be a long while before Corduroy and I are friends again. Same goes for you, scallops.
