52 Meals Project (2006)
Cafe Luxembourg

After the movie, Jimi, the Man and I braced ourselves against the cold wind on our walk to dinner at Cafe Luxembourg, an Upper West Side restaurant with Belgian fare and seemingly the ritzier overflow from the French Roast. I had the apricot-glazed pork chop, a good inch thick, with garlic green beans and German potato salad as sides, and to drink, a homebrew Weihenstephan wheat beer, golden and cloudy but tasty. Dessert was awesome: a fantastic blend of two of my favorite autumn pies, pecan and pumpkin.
