Bruckner 'n' burger

San Francisco, March 26, 2015—

YUP : WE'RE BACK at Zuni, on a musical afternoon and evening. Bruckner's Eighth Symphony in Davies Hall ; Bob Carrau at the piano at Zuni. I enjoy them just about equally, and I enjoy them a lot.

We left the concert hall a little hungry, so stopped off first at another favorite locale, where I had a knish and a bacon scone and my companion had that fabulous Russian Honey Cake — and we both had a glass of that wonderful Croatian Terzolo Malvasia I told you about a while back.

Then we hit Zuni, still in time for the hamburger, served only until six o'clock; with a very nice salad of arugula and thinly sliced Belgian endive, shallots, and chopped almonds, in a supple vinaigrette. And a Martini.

And Bob played the piano. What more do you want?
