Kjel.org dined at the Heathman last night in honor of the CFO’s birthday. We were expecting and hoping for a bit more of a classic French menu than was offered, but it was still quite good, with the great food, professional service and well recommended wine like one would expect from such a place. As an unanticipated bonus, I took a step toward one of my lifetime goals: to eat at least one of every animal on earth.

I’ve gotten past the low hanging fruit, so to speak, and it’s rare these days that I can find a beast to consume that I have not tasted before. Last night though was special: the CFO ordered some razor clams, and I realized then that I hadn’t ever eaten one, so of course I had a few bites and moved one baby step closer to my goal. Baby steps are how I’ll get there, but a couple of safaris to different parts of the world would help too. The CEO is kind of like a reverse Noah, except not nearly as greedy — I only need one of each animal, after all.
