12 PRODUCTION SOUND & VIDEO – Fall 2025
Go, Mint, Lotus of Siam, Jaleo, and Bouchon (where I tried to
toast my fellow traveler and could only manage eight letters).
Hutchins BBQ and The Heritage Table will feed you well in
Frisco, Texas; don't miss Russ and Daughters, Pastis, Oyamel,
Barbuto, and hundreds of other places in New York City. My
favorite New York restaurant was Esca, now closed. I ate at
the bar so often that Victor (the bartender) would greet me by
asking what show was going on.
Several of the restaurants mentioned above are part of the José
Andrés group. His World Central Kitchen is a not-for-profit,
non-governmental organization that provides food relief to
places in crises. Definitely, one of the good guys. You could look
it up. wct.org
I hope many of you have made the time and effort to make
your work travels enjoyable. When it becomes a habit, it truly
helps you blur the line between location and vacation. I'm
happy to have created these memories with so many friends.
Some from nearly forty years ago and others from just a few
months past. So, what does any of this have to do with being a
septuagenarian? My grandma Joie, the poet, taught us that age
is just numbers. No matter what number you are, if you are
traveling, get out there and enjoy yourself.
