Hot Hostess Watch – Restaurant Charlie

This hostess is so tres chaud that we were speechless after meeting her….and thus unable to catch her name. (ELV later determined it is ‘Nicole.’)

How hot is she? Well let’s just say that Charlie Trotter could be cooking crappy cacciucco, bad buridda, and boring brodetto, and we’d still drop by, if only to be led to our seat by this personification of pisces perfection — who could make even a limp, salty old dog feel like a pesce di spina in no time. (ELV also determined at a later date that Nicole is not, and never will be, a pisces.)

Hot Bartender Watch – Restaurant Charlie

Jeremy ain’t exactly ELV’s cup of tea, but plenty o’ ladies think he melts the ice in their drink. More flaming by far are the mighty cool cocktails he conjures nightly at the uber-fashionable cocktail bar at Restaurant Charlie.

To celebrate October 15th, The Official Birthday of The Official Number Two Son of ELV, he gave us a preview of his appropriately Autumnal libations. One of them, “Pumpkin,” tasted just like liquified pie, and his “Autumn” cocktail with housemade chai soy milk, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum and fresh grated Chinese cardamom is so good it could make even this gal rethink her politics.
