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 />
