Comments on: Pellegrino’s Dine Out, Take 2 - Dinner at The Grill on the Alley http://la.foodblogging.com/2007/08/30/pellegrinos-dine-out-take-2-dinner-at-the-grill-on-the-alley/ foodblogging los angeles Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:55:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Pauline http://la.foodblogging.com/2007/08/30/pellegrinos-dine-out-take-2-dinner-at-the-grill-on-the-alley/#comment-195086 Pauline Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:44:52 +0000 http://la.foodblogging.com/2007/08/30/pellegrinos-dine-out-take-2-dinner-at-the-grill-on-the-alley/#comment-195086 I find that the higher-profile the restaurant, the more appreciative they are about cancellations. Anyone else notice that? Pellegrino's event is only once a year, and today is the last day, so research quickly! I totally would have sent back the onions, but I guess since he was getting onions with his steak, he'd get his fill of them then.

Namely, at least an hour of cooking and reducing. I seldom send a dish back, but I certainly would have done so in this instance. Misrepresentation!

I am intrigued by Pellegrino, and now need to research (probably on your site!) what this is all about. Doesn’t sound too bad considering the cost.

They are usually so appreciative, in a way that tells you that people blow off reservations all the time without notice. If I was really mental, I would make reservations just so I could call and cancel them. The Grill is a popular "industry" spot. The odds of seeing celebrities and power brokers are high. Salma is very pregnant these days, maybe she is self conscious of the weight gain!
