CH Loves Avenue 5 (Banker's Hill)

Now, the rap on my husband is that he really loves Bongiorno's Pizza and Wahoo's more than anything, and only goes along on my foodie adventures to nicer places because he is sweet and likes to indulge me.

However, that is clearly not true!

For the second time in a row, he has now persuaded co-workers to take visitors to Avenue 5 as opposed to anywhere that is remotely closer to his office or house. CH (that is cute husband, if you've lost track of his nickname of the month) clearly is craving Colin MacLaggan's food (who can blame him, really?). CH does not like to "eat and tell" too much, but I got him to at least say that the dish he craves, that drives him to speak up in meetings to get Avenue 5 named as the business dinner destination, is chicken with a "sweet sauce."

I am thrilled it's on his list, since the upcoming Old Globe season means date night is almost always going to be in the Banker's Hill area for the next few months. Love me some Avenue 5 - and happy not to be dragging him somewhere he doesn't want to go!

(but still, Banker's Hill Bar and Restaurant is next on my list to try...can I persuade CH that Carl Schroeder's food is good after all?? Watch this space for news!)
