Musso & Frank's -- Part 1

I had "heard" about this restaurant in the Harry Bosch books by Michael Connelly.  Harry and crew eat lunch here periodically.  So when I saw it on Hollywood Blvd., I, of course, wanted to eat there too.  It's a Hollywood icon and one of those "old time" upscale restaurants.  I feel like we're horribly under-dressed, but we were dressed for a day of sightseeing in Hollywood.  Just like everyone else.  Great food -- great service -- "great" bill :-)

My layout was inspired by the S.W.A.T. Drill #19 (a new to me site) to scrap food.  And by the Switzerland challenge at Skrap N Chat  (use chocolate colors, white and brown, and alter something -- I altered the tag and did some fussy cutting to alter the paper -- hope that counts).  I probably wouldn't have gone for the brown, but I really do love how it worked with this.

This is the left page, the right page is being worked on:


Sorry about the glare in the photo.  The postcard in the top left is available at the restaurant.  I love how the butter comes in the little crock with the paper cover on it.
