Carson- The only food critic you'll ever need
Let me introduce Carson. He is a 4 and a half year old who has been dining in restaurants since he was 3 days old with his parents and both sets of grandparents. He has always had champagne tastes and isn't afraid to say so. If you ask him what his favorite restaurant is, he will respond: "The calamari restaurant." He means Piatti in Denver. Piatti- if you also like calamari. . . Carson recommends it. He also likes that you can draw on the table, the olive oil, garlic, red pepper dipping sauce for bread, and the cupcake gelato ("the sprinkles kind"). The runner knows Carson by name and treats him to a conversation entirely in Spanish. Carson gets the drift. Occasionally the servers, thrown off that Carson wants the calamari for his dinner, try to ply him with offerings such as ravioli or pizza. This rarely works. "Calamari, please, and with a melon (lemon)." When the steaming plate is set before him, his eyes widen with pleasure and anticipation. After the first mouthwatering crunch, he declares, "This taste is GOOD!"
