To: David J. Belew <br />

From: John Trent <br />

Subject: Dinner<br />

Dear David,<br />

Remember how after I got Patty to do that Dining Section expose on hard-to-get-in<br />

restaurants, and how yours was the only one that she declared worth the three month<br />

wait? And you said I had a table anytime I wanted? Well, I want one. For two.<br />

And you've got to hold it under the name of Max Friedlander, and when I show up,<br />

that's how your staff should greet me. Okay? Also, make sure you've got ice cream with<br />

chunks in it for dessert. Chocolate chunks are best.<br />

That's all I can think of right now. I'll call later to confirm.<br />

John, I hate to disappoint you, but at Belew's, rated four stars by the illustrious<br />

newspaper for which you toil daily; three stars by the Michelin guide; top restaurant in<br />

New York City by Zagat's; and recipient of not one but two Beard awards, thanks to the<br />

culinary talents of yours truly, we do not serve ice cream with chunks in it.<br />

No, not even chocolate chunks. I will, of course, see that a table is held for you,<br />

and even instruct my staff to call you Max Friedlander. But I'm afraid I must draw the<br />

line at chunks.<br />

Subject: You must be feeling better<br />

Or is there some other reason why you are humming I Feel Pretty under your breath?<br />

Which, by the way, is only slightly annoying to those of us who have to work near you.<br />
