OK, so the hard news has been internalized and the sadness has been replaced by a sort of semi-delusional defiance. The usual suspects rallied Tuesday night in solidarity, and the bar crowd last night was big enough that there were no seats. I told Heather I was going to take my stool on the 19th, the last night.

The big deal is the last dinner service night- that will be Friday the 18th, and the Grandest Goddamn Buffalo Night this County has ever seen. Tracy said she would cook four steamer rounds, and Kate vowed to make the best slider kemmelweck rolls ever.

So there is still a lot to accomplish while my favorite restaurant is open, and I encourage you to join me in the time that remains.

Defiant. Here are some images from last night:
