The author reflects on the challenges of dining with food intolerances while still finding joy in nuanced flavors. They emphasize the significance of ambiance and good company in enhancing the dining experience. Inviting a dear friend to lunch at Dove, a new restaurant, highlights the importance of companionship and shared experiences, even if some flavors remain unattainable. The appreciation for simple yet elegant dishes, like grilled chop and raw scallop, amplifies their pleasure in experiencing food vicariously through friends.
