I guess it makes some weird kind of sense that I’m following up a post on how I’m struggling to stay fit<\/a> with one that talks about what I’ll be putting in my mouth during Worldcon<\/a> this August. But that’s the way I roll.<\/p>\n

I have only one meal nailed down\u2014a 36th anniversary dinner at Girl and the Goat<\/a>, where I look forward to eating pig face, crispy goat skin, and smoked duck fat. There are a few other gastronomical wonders I’m hoping for, such as the playground that is Alinea<\/a> and the apparent perfection that is Next<\/a>, but neither of those is a certainty.
