Krug Night - The Prologue
Christ.
I’ve never been this excited about a dinner. Ever. The invitation is like a Wonka Golden Ticket…
I don’t know what to expect. At all.
Krug have partnered with wunderkind Nuño Mendes to create the ultimate feel-good dinner. It’s ridiculously exclusive too. So exclusive, that I nearly turned it down because I literally have nothing to wear…
If you think a pop-up restaurant at the internationally swanky 85 Swaines Lane that is only open for four days, and has only 16 seats (at £440 a pair) isn’t swanky enough, look at the questionnaire that they sent me…
(For comedy value, I have included my answers as I wrote them.)
1. What was your favourite game or toy when you were growing up?
Atari 2600 console. Tanks was my favourite game.
2. What piece of music makes you feel most happy?
Fascination by Alphabeat. (That’s not for the public domaine. A bit gay.) or Let’s get it on by Marvin Gaye.
3. Do you prefer the smell of freshly baked bread or thick melted chocolate?
Ooh very close call. Freshly baked sourdough would have it. Just.
4. What is your favourite sweet?
Lemon sherbets, rhubarb and custards, that sort of thing. I love sherbet and citrus.
5. What film do you always watch whenever you need cheering up?
Withnail and I. (This always my answer to a question about film.)
6. What flower evokes joy?
Peonies
7. What colour evokes excitement?
Red
8. What or who really gives you the giggles?
Jim Jeffries, the comic, or little children falling over in puddles.
This is apparently to tailor-make the experience for each diner. I really have no idea how they are going to use this extremely private information about myself, but I imagine that I might be sat next to Elton John.
Part 2 of this post tomorrow. Wish me luck. Or tell me to fuck off. I guess I deserve it.
But you’re not going. I am.
