Oh, and here's one potential logo.

Ah, but the sherry martinis had the advantage of the bartender using flame. Whether they're applying fire to an orange peel, your bar tab, or the tie of someone who's passed out on the bar, only good things can come of barkeeps and fire.

I wish I kept my distance from the Sherry martinis! I think starting with a few of those contributed to the horror I experienced the next morning. Oh the horror. As far as the fan club goes, I think we should meet once a month. Who wants to design the logo? (come on, everygood good fan club has a logo!).

Think the straight sherry gave you a hangover? You're lucky you kept your distance fromt he sherry martinis. I'm sure they're great in moderation. But after you've had a couple, they devour you only spit you back up in the morning sans sense or sensibility.

I'll be in the fan club too -- especially for the foie gras -- but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop stalking the folks at D'Artagnan. And apparently I'm a huge fan of Wylie's fried mayo, although I have no recollection of eating it thanks to the sherry overload. Sigh.

As long as we can eat plate after plate of the foie gras / sardine / cocoa bean combination at meetings, I'll be the damn Treasurer.

i'd join the wylie fan club if you could arrange to see how he gets liquid to ooze from a perfect cube of foie gras. genius!

Thanks for the tip KeithS, but sometimes when it comes to Sherry, we just can't control ourselves. PS - I think I'd like to start a Chef Wylie fanclub, are you in?

That was a very fun, if rather chaotic, event, as Olson spent most of the evening tucked into a back booth. At least I managed to finally approach Wylie and confess to being a total, abject fanboy! Oh, and next time Gothamist may want to choose one category (like the Olorosos) and call it home. But it sounds like you already know that.
