It now after three in the afternoon and finally the produce order shows up. He checks the order in himself (as always) and sees that the vendor has doubled up and resent the order for the cardoons. Back they go. The key to the whole event is the lists, Robert checks out where they are and where they have to go.
Jose is again up to some fishy business as he cleans, counts and pans up the Scallops for the Shell Fish Tasting item Scallop with Potato Risotto and Truffles. Pilar is monitoring the short ribs, you can almost taste them. When I let Bobby know I'm taking up he gives me a quick See ya in the AM while he's on the phone, still dealing with the dreaded seating plan.
