June 19, 2013: Another L.A. Update!

Four meetings yesterday, another five today.  Amidst all the business, we also managed to connect with some old friends, one intentionally, the other quite by surprise.

Last night, Paul and I met up with Golden Boy Martin Gero and the lovely Chelan Simmons for dinner at Animal where we enjoyed a terrific meal.  Among the highlights…

Chicken liver toasts

“Buffalo style” pig tails 

Bone marrow, chimichurri, and caramelized onions

BBQ pork belly sandwiches with slaw

Tres leches, dulce de leche cake

Bacon chocolate crunch bar with s&p ice cream

Then, this afternoon, we were in Beverly Hills for a meeting and had just stepped out of the car to pay for parking when we heard: “Joe?”.  You’ll never guess who we bumped into…

Go ahead.  Guess!
