“ Quarterback Nick Montana is the son of Joe Montana, who led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000. His backup is Trevor Gretzky, whose father, Wayne, won four Stanley Cups and proceeded directly to the Hockey Hall of Fame after retiring as the N.H.L.’s career leading scorer. ”

Esquire's Best New Restaurants List.

mascarah:

I don’t agree with this (hate Sho, love Laconda Verde, like Corton, don’t love Marea) list entirely, but are some good national picks. I often forget that good food exists in the US outside NY & SF, but it DOES.

I’m excited to try Lemaire in Richmond, VA (my friend Michael developed this restaurant), Bedford Post Inn in Bedford, NY, Bottega in Yountville, Bazaar in LaLa land, Nopalito in SF, and Perla’s Oyster Bar in the lovely Austin Tx.

Shockingly (or not shockingly), not a single Chicago restaurant made the list — again. In my previous life, this irked me to no end. I don’t know if there are any new, amazing restaurants in Chicago that deserve to be included on this list. I do know, however, that Nopalito doesn’t hold a candle to Contigo or to Flour + Water.

That said, if I could, I’d probably eat the carnitas at Nopalito every day, if I could.

Email update from my mom:

Ralph was at the Vet today. He had an ingrown toe nail that was repaired and all of his other nails were clipped. Ralph also got an antibiotic shot and his pawl is wrapped in an ace bandage. Ralph is limping around and is not happy. He can’t go outside for one week and he will get antibiotics twice daily.
