Kathy,

Happy Belated Birthday to you and at Café Gray no less. Where has Chef Kunz gone? I hope he pops up somewhere.

Happy belated birthday Kathy!

Wow, that meal looked amazing! The restaurant is beautiful.

Lemongrass, yoghurt-lime sorbet and the tray with hazelnut souffle, spiced oranges, and cardamom ice cream looked to die for. So 80s sounding, I know - like OMG.

I hope you have a wonderful 22nd year!
