What would be neat is a look inside his personal circle. People who had the opportunity to dine with him.
Is there anyone on The Awl's masthead who could write such a piece?
Or a review of Mr. Bruni qua meal?
The waiter’s account is unbelievably annoying-confirmation, I suppose, that one does not require a waiter’s name, let alone his thoughts.
