Acknowledgments

Thank you, Tom Sietsema, the Washington Post’s food critic, for recommending 701 as a lovely restaurant open in 2011 that would suit my high-end gang! And as always, I could not have kept all the pieces strung together without the help of Mindy Klasky, Jennifer Stevenson, Phyllis Radford, and the BVC crew who monitor a book from a gleam in the author’s eye to the final production. The publishing business wouldn’t be worth the effort without the extraordinary people who populate it!
