NANCY UPDATE; SILVERTON NAMED EXECUTIVE CHEF OF SAN QUARANTINE MAXIMUM SECURITY

Nancy Silverton, who last week was diagnosed with the dread of our time, the Corona virus, was named executive chef of the infamous maximum security institution known as San Quarantine, the Mozza Tribune reported today.

The Black Site at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles has housed Silverton since March 27 when she took the test after being in contact with a person who tested bad. (The Tribune’s new policy is to no longer say a dreaded test result was “positive”. That doesn’t make sense.)

Anyway, the magnificent news is that Nancy Silverton continues to feel good. “I feel fine. I don’t even feel “pretty good’. I feel good,” she just now said.

She is showing NO symptoms. Right now, 8:25 a.m., she is on the Ruth Couch, blue mask and gloves on. reading the Sunday L.A.Times and the NY Times. - the actual paper, by the way. - while listening to the daily briefing of NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s,

But, last night, after mostly staying away from the food and letting her boyfriend cook, she took over as Executive Chef with a grilled thin-cut beef short ribs on the outside grill that were finished with black olive tapenade. They were accompanied by roasted carrots with cumin and coriander, little gems lettuces with an oregano vinaigrette. A 1961 San Pellegrino sparkling was served.

That Nancy is cooking is a wonderful thing. We think of the countless world wide who have contacted the virus and can’t even eat. let alone cook. So, I know she has a lot of friends. lot of fans. lot of admirers out there and wanted to let you know that she is good. She is also strictly adhering to Dr. Gregg DeNicola’s orders to stay away from people. except this reporter.

There was a disappointment last night when we realized we, after watching 23 episodes of the Sundance TV show “The Restaurant” - Season 3, Ep. 3 - that we were all caught up and have to wait until Friday for a new episode

I’m still worried about her. And everyday that goes by without a symptom is wonderful.

Maybe the best news of today just happened. She was sarcastic to me. People not feeling well don’t have time to be sarcastic. I had asked her “Should I call Sundance and talk to Robert Redford and tell him because of the Insanity to make the last five episodes of “The Restaurant” immediately available?”

“Yeah, Butch go ahead and call him. I’m sure Sundance would love to talk to you.”
