Well, it finally took sad, sad news to rouse me out of my blogging stupor/catatonic immobile typing state of mind. Restaurant Eloise is slated to close next Sunday night – a real tragedy for the western Sonoma County culinary scene. You can read the sad news *here*.
You might remember my mention of Eloise’s chef, Ginevra, from the Flowers Winery luncheon – mmmm, remember that decadent Bittersweet Chocolate Raspberry Cake with Sea Salt?? A tragedy indeed. I’ve been eagerly waiting to take advantage of Eloise’s $35 Recession special (3 courses, $35, no corkage), but have been on a traveling whirlwind of epic proportions that only recently came to an end. I’m still catching my breath, but apparently not with enough time to catch the Recession special.
This economy blows by the way.
Alas, the boy and I are already planning to partake one last time at Eloise this weekend before it closes for good. Last regular dining night will be this Sunday, Nov. 30, so if you don’t have any pre or post Turkey day plans, I highly urge you to run, not walk, to Eloise for a last supper.
And you can be sure we’ll be intently watching where Ginevra Iverson & Eric Korsh land next. The news is so bumming, I can’t even think of a witty ending. Or maybe that’s just my blogging block. So cheers to people who have the courage to follow their dreams. And cheers to Ginevra. Hope to see you again soon.
Over and out.
Man, I am sad and I haven’t even been there. Get out of your stupor…its harvest. Time to partake….
