… at least that’s what Cédric thought when I set down these two glasses. I shook my head no.
“Frappuccino?” He asked hopefully, although the sounds from the kitchen must have tipped him off to the true contents of that glass: fresh brown juice.
The first thing I ate at Noma, a restaurant that currently holds the #1 spot in rankings of the World’s Best, was a shrimp. To be specific, it was a shrimp the the size of my pinkie, still alive and fighting back.
