The tasty birthday box

Today is randall's birthday and to celebrate I made surprise reservations at benu. The meal was delicious (we did the tasting and beverage pairing - thanks to Arthur for the drink recommendation), and while it was completely opposite of the French laundry meal (cooked by the same man and sort of hard to compare), i think I liked benu more. Every detail was just perfect. I particularly loved the magic birthday box. Instead of making a big birthday ordeal, they presented Randall with a music box. When you turned the crank it tinkered happy birthday. It was also lit with a bunch of blue LEDs and then the lid came off and a surprise cake was presented! Super low key and perfect. Just like the meal!

Happy birthday Randall!!!
