Contrary to popular belief, I do turn on a stove every now & again. And relaxed-style dinners (ahem, lazy-styles) are breakfast dinners. Who wouldn’t love, right? Eggs. Spinach. Tomatoes. Mushrooms. Avocado. Parmigiano Reggiano. Chili powder. Cumin. Cracked black pepper. Open-faced omelette.

But, if there was ever a moment you could prolong a dish (or two)… first few that come to mind: arctic char ceviche at Foxley, foie gras at Cava and the corn salad at C5. Gave myself seconds to write down. Pretty definitive, [...]
