Quote of the evening, overheard at table #1: "Nacho Libre is one of the funniest films ever!" Sarcasm was not detected in her tone -- nor did she seem mentally capable of a deadpan delivery. Maybe I'm just being a snob -- I haven't even seen the movie. Or maybe I'm a wee miffed that she tipped $14 on $170.

And so Winterlicious begins.
