* The story so far: Last month, our fictional blogger, K., started her new field-reporting gig, which is how she met a cute chef. Meanwhile, her best friend, Sarah, scored a regular part on a new show and is moving back to work on it. New guy, new job, the return of her best friend ... could things finally be coming together for K.?

Friday, 11.02,07 Some Cheese With That Whine?

Chef Marc and I had our first date tonight. It was good enough to earn a second date, but I wouldn't exactly give it four stars....

We started the night at a fancy, expensive place I've always wanted to try. They say it's the "chef's restaurant" because all the chefs in the city eat there. Despite the line of people who were waiting for tables, we were ushered in and seated at a luxurious booth in a quiet corner in the back. I was kind of excited to see two people I recognized from a big-deal food show at a nearby table, and I pointed them out to Marc.

"Eh," he said. "Everyone on that show is a hack."

Okay, so that comment was unnecessarily negative. I was going to let It slide though because (1) we were at one of the best, coolest restaurants in town and (2) he looked ridiculously hot in snug jeans, a blazer, and a black tee shirt. I was totally digging the rock star/chef vibe that he had going on.
