quite.2006 had it. 2007 gone. we were there when the 2007 came out. and as i had said earler, they opted to drop the third star.

for a real name drop, in'05 in dead of winter, george blanc must have been bored to death, because he came out of the kitchen and spent the whole dinner talking to us. he said it was just horrendously expensive to maintain the third star, and no profit in the restaurant. had to make money on other related stuff.
