It was interesting to read this, as Tom was a longtime friend of mine. I spent many evenings with him at Musso’s (he always sat at Manny’s end of the counter, and usually ordered Romaine w/Roquefort and French Lamb Chops…….rare)

He loved Au Petite Cafe and spoke of it often. As a matter of fact, when I moved to LA in the late 60’s, it was my first experience with really terrific French food.

Tom was a wonderful dining companion, and he spoke kindly of you often.
