Chapter 1450 1450 The Power of the Name

Beverly Hills is not only a small hill, but also a landmark. With Rodeo Avenue and Wilshire. Blvd as the core, the entire area can be said to be the most dynamic place in the City of Angels. In this neighborhood, banks, commercial buildings, shopping centers, department stores can be seen everywhere, the bustling fashionistas, tourists and celebrities, almost become an indispensable part of the city of Los Angeles.

Wilshire Boulevard is one of the most prosperous streets. Since the Screen Actors Guild headquarters is on this street, many scouts also linger here all year round, hoping to be among the pedestrians on the street. Dig out the next top superstar.

All of this has made the restaurant proficiency on Wilshire Boulevard steadily rising. The huge number of tourists always makes the restaurant full during meal time, and even the waiter jobs in the restaurant are in short supply - for those who embrace actors For those who dream, this is simply the best place to meet Bole.

However, there is a restaurant on this street that is also very popular, but not because of the crowds on Wilshire Boulevard, but because the food of the restaurant is widely praised, and the decoration style of the restaurant is very artistic, whether it is visual or The taste can be regarded as a great enjoyment. It has been recommended by food magazines for many times and has been selected as one of the most worthwhile restaurants in Los Angeles.

What's more worth mentioning is that the chef of this restaurant named "CUT" is also a famous one. The name Wolfgang. Puck even has the same appeal as a Hollywood star. A top figure in the Los Angeles restaurant industry, he was invited to be the head chef on Oscar night in 1994 to overwhelming acclaim, which led to a very close relationship with Hollywood.

Celebrities and dignitaries throughout Los Angeles like to dine at "CUT", which invisibly makes the restaurant's life even more popular.

The same is true tonight. There are still two hours before the dinner time at 8 o'clock, and the line has already begun to form. By 8:30, the whole line has stretched almost one-third of the Wilshire Boulevard. terrifying. However, such a prosperous and lively scene is staged almost every day, so the locals have long been used to it.

When Hugo came to "CUT", it was already half past eight, and when he saw the exaggerated long dragon at the door, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. The queue is in. It is not uncommon in China, but it is not common in Europe and the United States, especially such a spectacular team, it is even rarer. Recalling that David Geffen said he waited three months to get into the restaurant, Hugo was amazed.

Hugo, the famous name of "CUT", has naturally heard of it, but he does not have much research on food, but Samora has nagged him several times. Hugo's taste for food is too underdeveloped. Even if the good food enters his mouth, it will not reflect the value. In Hugo's view, the real food should be tasted by people who know how to eat it. It's just a waste of cow chewing peony. Hugo had tasted Wolfgang's cuisine on Oscar night, but he couldn't tell why, and was despised by Samora for a long time, so Hugo never came to "CUT".

"I went back to the apartment by myself at night, you can go back first." Hugo said to Joseph who was in charge of driving. He also had an apartment in Beverly Hills, and it was only a two-way walk from Wilshire Boulevard. Only ten minutes, very convenient.

Joseph nodded, "After you finish your meal today, remember to call Samora and tell him your thoughts, otherwise he won't be able to sleep tonight."

Hugo shrugged, "I guess he won't fall asleep after I describe it to him, although I guess my description will be very pale." Joseph couldn't help but smile, and then Hugo opened the car door, Go to the restaurant door.

Seeing Hugo's figure, almost everyone recognized Hugo who was wearing a black formal suit today, and the crowd lined up next to him began to riot. In order to show respect for the restaurant, Hugo not only did not have any cover, but also appeared in strict formal clothes, so he was recognized immediately.

Hugo nodded politely at the crowd, and then began to look at the restaurant in front of him. The door of the restaurant is painted with two huge roses. The budding roses are bright and dripping, and they are beautiful under the dim light. The overall outer wall is made of black shale, but the window is open on the wall. On the upper edge of the face, I could only vaguely see the orange light in the restaurant, but I couldn't see anything inside. This is also a move by the "CUT" restaurant to protect the privacy of public figures - it is not an easy task for the paparazzi to capture pictures here.

Before reaching the gate, the waiter had already greeted him, but he was not in a hurry, just stood there quietly, and when Hugo finished looking at the appearance and his eyes met, he smiled and said To, "Good evening, Mr. Lancaster, and welcome to 'CUT'."

Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect the other party to respond so quickly. He nodded with a smile, "Good evening, I'm... uh..." Just as Hugo wondered if Steven was using him The waiter made a gesture of invitation when booking in his own name, "Mr. Spielberg is already waiting for you inside."

"Very good, then let's enjoy this beautiful night." Hugo took the lead without rejecting it.

Walking into the restaurant, a middle-aged man in a formal tuxedo and a bow tie greeted him, "Good evening, Mr. Lancaster, I'm Randy Moss, the restaurant manager tonight. Moss, I'll be serving you tonight, and I hope you enjoy your meal here. May I have the honor to hang up your coat?"

"Of course." Hugo took off his jacket and handed it to the other party. Randy took the jacket and handed it to the waiter. Then he made an inviting gesture and started to lead the way.

Hugo only had the opportunity to look at the entire restaurant at this time. On the left side was a long champagne-colored bar, which was already full of customers. In the center was a long beer table, which looked very bold. The guests were in twos and threes. The seats are staggered, filling the seats on both sides. On the right is a spacious deck, with four seats, two seats, and a round sofa. At this time, the crowd is full of people, dizzying.

The dark red and off-white walls are covered with a variety of paintings, some looking very artistic, others looking like they were made by amateurs - or even children, but the whole atmosphere seems a bit It's not like a restaurant, it's more like a gallery. In the elegant jazz music, it is like walking in the clouds. Even if you have not started to eat, you can feel the joy of the mood.

Randy, who was leading the way, seemed to sense Hugo's curiosity and politely explained, "These paintings are changed every two weeks, some are works by artists, some are works by children in the community, if you think there are Satisfied works can be purchased and collected as collections, and the expenses will be donated to the Grayson Gift Foundation."

The Grayson Gift Foundation, Hugo couldn't help but shine, this is the charitable project he has been involved in in recent months. Randy looked at the smile on Hugo's face without any evasion, "Mr. Parker has always respected you very much, and personally, I admire what you have done."

At this time, Hugo finally believed that what Steven said was the truth. "This is my honor. If philanthropy can get more attention, it will be a good thing for the children."

Public figures can use their influence to do many things that ordinary people cannot reach, and this is also the responsibility of public figures. It can be clearly felt that the name "Hugo-Lancaster" is now beyond the general category and has a special meaning, as if Steven used this name to reserve a restaurant seat and enjoy the privilege, but at the same time, rain Guo also used his influence to contribute to philanthropy, and had a partial impact on culture and society.

All this gave Hugo a deeper understanding of "with great power comes great responsibility".

After just walking for a short while, Hugo saw Steven sitting in the four-person booth, he smiled and waved to Steven, and walked forward quickly, "Sorry, I'm late. "

"No, no, I came here early today because I was worried that they would cancel my appointment temporarily." Steven's teasing made Hugo laugh, but Randy, who was standing by the side, was not embarrassed, and he really cultivated his skills. Awesome.

After Hugo Ann sat down, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Although I don't know how delicious the Kobe beef David said is, it is indeed a pleasure to be able to dine in such a restaurant."

Just a moment later, Randy went back and forth, smiling and saying, "This is our wine list, do you need anything?"

Hugo opened the wine list, looked at the dazzling names on it, and had no clue at all, and then he heard Randy introduce, "If you have no idea for a while, please allow me to recommend the Cana Cathedral dry red wine to you. , 1987 Napa Valley wine with excellent acidity and tannins.”

"I have no objection." Hugo closed the wine list and looked at Steven. Steven also smiled and nodded, "Then take one."

After Randy took away the two wine lists, he nodded slightly with his feet together, and turned to leave.

Hugo and Steven didn't have time to exchange a few words, and then Randy came to the table again. Hugo thought it was red wine, but when he looked up, he found that Randy handed a beautiful brochure. Put it in front of him, holding a camera in his hand.

Hugo's first reaction thought it was a special event in the restaurant, he cast an inquiring look at Steven, but he didn't want Randy but said, "Thank you Mr. Lancaster for coming to our restaurant, I don't know if we have any Is it an honor for you to leave your autograph and photo?"
