It was also a chance to debrief on some product developments.  Last time they were in town, I dragged them to my favorite sake bar, which was a disaster, since there is more of a &#8220;meat and potato&#8221; feel to this group.  This time, we opted for BBQ.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve read good things about <a href=\"http:\/\/menupages.com\/restaurants.asp?areaid=0&#038;cuisineid=10&#038;neighborhoodid=9&#038;AdvancedResturantIds=\">Daisy May&#8217;s<\/a>, and was not dissapointed.  Thier sweet tea was totally awesome, and I think the best thing about them is that they are across the street from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelandmarktavern.org\/index.html\">Landmark Tavern<\/a> one of my preferred scotch locations in the city,  After getting our food, who was inside the seating area watching ESPN?  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001624\/\">Oliver Platt<\/a>.  He was there with a kid &#8211; probably in his early teens?  Maybe a son?  Maybe a g\/f&#8217;s kid?  I dunno.  He was dressed all in white, and got immidiately nervous when we came in (there was nobody else there).  I made eye contact, and he kinda gave this look like &#8220;please don&#8217;t ruin my dinner&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t.  The two people I was having dinner with woulda been total gawkers, maybe even asked for autographs.  I didn&#8217;t mention Platt to them until he was on his way out the door.  IMDB tells me he has done lots of stuff, but I will always remember him as &#8220;that guy&#8221; from Flatliners,  my favorite Porthios, and his role in Bicentennial Man.<\/p>\n<p>It was kinda a New York thing &#8211; it made me smile on the inside. After some fantastic dry-rub pork ribs (BTW, <lj user=\"wangch61\">, the beef ribs here there are insane), I walked the reps across the street, and had them buy me scotch.  I was good about it though, I coulda really broken the bank, and instead I opted for smooth, but not bank-breaking (especially since we had spent 30 minutes talking about economics, bleh).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/news08\/musketeer.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got taken out to dinner by some reps last night, in thanks for shouldering a burden for them on Wednesday.
