Extract from 'A cook's tour' by Anthony Bourdain

'Sitting at St. John, I ordered what i think is the best thing i have ever put in my mouth: Fergus's roasted bone marrow with parsley and caper salad, croutons, and sea salt.
Oh God, is it good. How something so simple can be so...so...absolutely luxurious. A few Flintstone-sized lengths of veal shank. a lightly dressed salad...Lord...to tunnel into those bones, smear that soft gray-pink-and-white marrow onto a slab of toasted bread, sprinkle with some sel gris...take a bite...Angels sing, celestial trumpets...six generations of one's ancestors smile down from heaven. It's butter from God.'

I get paid tomorrow. I've never spent more than 50 quid in a restaurant. I'm not rich. It's the last paycheck before Christmas. Dilemma. Actually...... NO CONTEST. My belly speaks.
