Tonight, our customer dinner was at L'atelier de Joel Robuchon at the Four Seasons in NYC. We had the full on tasting menu, including REAL imported KOBE beef (just a tiny portion) from Japan (not a lot of restuarants in the US have ones that come from JAPAN), foie gras soup (which was friggin 100% fat, but super expensive), and all this other expensive stuff!
Basically, it was a $250 per person meal, that was all expensed, and the horrible thing was, even though the plates were miniature, I felt full after the 3rd serving, but it was incredibly rude NOT to eat my plates (and I didnt even finish everything on each serving!!!) with customers who are taking you out to a uuber deeelux meal.
So, what do you do in circumstances like these? Not enjoy a luxurious, once in a lifetime meal, just because you are on a diet? ...that doesn't seem right to me...Seems a bit sad that I can't even enjoy a meal without counting calories and thinking about what I eat.
All I can say is, I really tried my best. I worked out this morning, tried to eat clean during the day, but felt like it was all a waste after the dinner.
Spoke to the hubby and was really down about it. He said he was bummed for me, but he knows I will get back on track. Its not like I eat like this everyday.
I have one word for you, dude... Robuchon. It's REALLY ok to enjoy these once-in-a-lifetime experiences!!!
