The plan is Bouchon or Bartolotta for the actual b-day, and then winging it for the rest. If we venture off of the strip, Rosemarys or Lotus will be our choices!
Cat -- thank you so much...I've still got four days to go:).
Sam -- of course you are! In fact I think we should have a party for ourselves smack in the middle of both of our big days -- what do you say?

I kicked into a new decade in Vegas last year, a very good choice imo. Can't wait to hear about the food! (I did Nobu with the hubby and CraftSteak with friends)
Happy birthday, fellow restaurant whore. Glad to see that alums are up to great things (good eating). I can't believe I depart for the icy frigidness in a couple days.
Happy birthday! (I no longer celebrate my birthday but rather the anniversary of my 27th birthday.)

So, since I am turning old this year, I decided my birthday should be a week long. Nothing wrong with that, right? Stop laughing.
That week started today (the actual day is still, thankfully, a few days in the future), where my most fabulous husband and friends feted me in true Restaurant Whore style. I had me a little birthday party at Ton Kiang, filled with all kinds of dumpling love. And guess what I got to finish it off with? That's right, bitches, the coveted Tartine cake. And it was as good as I had fantasized about. I even licked some off the table. Seriously.
Now, we all know how crazy lucky I feel to be able to eat as well as I do. But I know that I'm even luckier to have such an incredible husband (who buys me cakes and listens to my whining) andsuchwonderfulfriends (who buy me cookbooks and listen to my whining), who collectively remind me every day that it is possible to love something more than food.
I plan to go kicking and screaming into my next decade with a trip to Vegas next weekend. Stay tuned.
xoxo Joy
