The extra mile from La Quercia

laquercia

I was walking down a long block on 4th yesterday afternoon, heading towards Alama. I shared the sidewalk with a couple approaching me in deep discussion. Way behind them a shape emerged and I made out a man in a chef’s jacket running full-out, the sight eerily similar to Robert Irvine in the Food Network’s Dinner Impossible. It did seem an impossibly long sprint and I had to wonder what kitchen disaster preceded this. I soon learned that he was coming from La Quericia, and that he had managed to make room for the couple in the dining room. They all happily made their way back to the restaurant, while I ducked into the BC Wine Store. It was an amazing display of enthusiasm and athleticism in the name of good customer service. Just one more good reason (among many) to quench your craving for fine Italian cuisine at La Quercia.
