   Drat, I wish that I knew about this sooner.
   Fascino is the best restaurant — by far — in a town with a lot of restaurants!

   OK, actually I did know!
   So what I might have said was “Drat, I wish that y’all had posted this sooner, so more fokes could be made aware to checkitout.”
   (Thanks for being surprised, by me, though!)

   He’s an excellent chef. I would be very pleased to try anything that he was in the mood to create and execute.

   Shame Shame Barista – how could you have missed it. It was posted on the Watercooler for the connected folks.

   Too bad not all of us are on WC, but it’s also too bad that the restaurant couldn’t give its customers an email heads-up!

    Babaloo- Yes I agree is is too bad that not all of us are on the Watercooler. There’s nothing to stop you from joining the WC.

    Does the restaurant collect e-mails from customers?

    Funny, we tried to sign up for the WC and the moderator didn’t approve our ‘application’ within 14 days, so Yahoo killed it. Whatever…
    Not sure about Fascino collecting email addresses, but if they don’t, they’re missing the boat! I get emails from a few of my favorite restaurants with info about special dinners/events/chefs participating in local events, etc.

    Actually — I receive press releases from Fascino on a regular basis (nights with special menus, etc.). For whatever reason, they did not publicize this appearance in the usual manner — or at least we didn’t get it in a timely fashion.
