Cinco de Mayo delayed
May 5th is my birthday. Cant hide it. I'm getting old and aging gracefully. I welcome each year with open arms knowing that each year brings new friends and greater knowledge. First thing I want to clear up is that Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence day, for those non- historians it is the day that Benito Juarez led the Mexican army to defeat the French. Yes, the French at one point occupy Mexico City. Mexican Independance day is September 16. Another thing that I would like to clear is that Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday, not Cuban or South American Mexican. With that being said my birthday was a blast as it usual. Went to dinner to Le Bernadine, which I will write about later and ofcourse saw half of New York City celebrate this my birthday
Epicurean by choice business person by default. Food is something that has to be cherished and appreciated. Food the power to be great comforter, a reason to gather, or a simple mystery that unravels in our very eyes with every bite.
