Sometimes they find out on their own though.<BR/><BR/>As for the chef, I just ask if he has a few minutes, which is usually at the end of the night. Or you can also ask to have a tour of the kitchen. Usually they're more than happy to oblige.kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-73686023784608549632008-11-18T11:49:00.000-08:002008-11-18T11:49:00.000-08:00Kevin,Ahhh, smart !!!

I just got a hard time when I called The Luau on Bedfor in Beverly Hills - next time I won't ask !<BR/><BR/>Do you tell restuarnts you have a blog BEFORE you dine there ?<BR/><BR/>How do you always get to meet the chef ? do you ask to after your meal is finished, to go say thank you ?<BR/><BR/>I will put that camera on my xmas list :)Frequent Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15348485045513754985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-54727489381207616052008-11-17T15:35:00.000-08:002008-11-17T15:35:00.000-08:00I use a Fuji FinePix F30, a camera that's especial...I use a Fuji FinePix F30, a camera that's especially good in low light. That's part of it, and Photoshop is the other part.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the photos, it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. I just start snapping until they tell me to stop, which is rarely. ;)kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-36410740582580507982008-11-17T05:35:00.000-08:002008-11-17T05:35:00.000-08:00Kevin,I want to learn how to take pictures like yo...Kevin,<BR/>I want to learn how to take pictures like you do - they are always so impressive !<BR/><BR/>Glad that you liked Fruition for the most part, except for the duck.<BR/><BR/>I called Studio at The Momtage in Laguna Beach to try dinner there after your review - and they said they would not allow me to take pictures. ???
