Ivy, love the new newsletter and just subscribed. The day I first met you was over dinner at Mixtli in San Antonio. It was a private train card dinner for my wife and I and you and your colleague. Just the four of us and it was wonderful to enjoy the excellent dining experience with you. That evening, you told me about the lunch you had just had at Maria's. My wife and I tried to make it there on that San Antonio trip, but unfortunately didn't. So it gave me great joy to read your words about Maria's in this newsletter and see the photograph of the place. And it reminded me of the great pleasure in meeting and dining with you. As I continue my culinary exploration and writing activities here in the Pacific Northwest, after four years in Chile and five years before that in Singapore, I search for places where the food is almost secondary to the passion and the commitment of the people who make it. That is what Foodwalkers is all about, so I'm excited to now be able to follow your newsletter which places the same priorities on dining and what constitutes good eating. If you find yourself in the Seattle area anytime in the near future, drop me a note. It would be great to get together and break some bread.
Thanks for the newsletter and I look forward to seeing more.
