Had dinner our last night in Chile at La Mar. (Nice review, with good pictures, here). It's over-priced, okay, but wow is the cebiche fantastico.
Juan Pablo had the grilled pulpo (yum!), the EYM a fantastic sopa de mariscos, and I (pig!) had the four-way cebiche platter. I "shared" (the EYM had a few bites) but mostly it was MINE, precious, all MINE. Oh, and Eugenio is on the phone. Of course. Eugenio is ALWAYS on the phone.
The LMM had, as always, something not on the menu. Sometimes the waiter tries to hold firm, but LMM is remorseless. She wants a particular thing, no restaurant has it, ever, and that is the thing she wants. In this case, a salad of lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes, and a side of lightly grilled mushrooms and zucchini. No meat, no cheese, no onions, no sauce, no peppers, no (I could go on). The waiter almost cried, but he brought it, exactly as requested.
