Where did Heath have a bird tattoo? That's not one I recall ever seeing pictures of.

I love going to lunch with you two! :-*
I was excited by the Earl Grey ice cream, I was hoping we were going to have that when I saw it on the menu. :)
It's an unprepossessing lil place, in' it? I expected grander. Or at least plus grand.
Wonder what Heath would a et. Did you see the table with the chess board top that we read about?
I feel sad and happy.
:laugh: John! You are too funny. ;D
For some reason, this made me laugh so hard! I look like the Sphinx anticipating the next course. :laugh:
Thank you for another marvelous culinary adventure, full of Brokie goodness. And thank you for my beautiful present! :-* :-* :-*

Very nice lunch album! Thanks.
I would have eaten Meryl's tomatoes. 8)
Leaves Nos. 29 and 31 do look very Lightning Flat!
And the album people hypothesize Heath got the name from:
Five Leaves Left

14 Leaves (We love those truffled fries!

They're not truffle fries! They're good ole Aussie chips! :D
No wonder Heath liked eating there. It's probably the only place in New York where he could get Aussie-style hot potato chips! ;) :D Traditionally eaten with tomato sauce! ;D
Thank you for taking us along with you, Meryl and John. It was fun! :D
I may have found it.
Thank you. (I must have been dreaming. Or a coma. Ha! Well. You know what I mean.)
This is seriously gorgeous. Look:

Them soup bowls are huge (and I guess hard to pack). You could feed a horse out of them :o. That's about three times the size of what you would get for soup here in Germany.

Australian hunh? They look very Belgian to me! And you're drinking the right beer too, I see. Very good. ;D :)
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

This article appeared in Sydney's Sunday Telegraph newspaper last weekend, John. It may be necessary to scroll over to the right to read it all.
John and Meryl, thanks for the report and the great pics. Up until today when I found this blog, I did not know you guys were up East freezing to pieces in Heath's restaurant, while another 6 Brokies were down East in sunny Florida, enjoying our little reunion and eating my mom's chili.
Would it be possible for the Brokies attending the NYC gathering on 2/13+ to enjoy a lunch on 2/14 at Five Leaves? I definitely will see it while I'm there from the 12th thru the 16th, but it would be much better to share it with other Brokies. Is that do-able? Maybe we could make tentative reservations for a big ole table?
P.S. John, you are quite the handsome fella, I must say. I'm guessing you have to beat them off with a stick:)
