closed starter for logan wilde ( @theloganxwilde ) -> la vie en rose
Winnie sits, satiated and impressed, at her solo table full of empty plates. It's been a long time since she's been to La Vie en Rose; too many times she'd come for a nice meal and found herself disappointed in what they served her. It's not like she's always had an impressive palate, but years of cooking and treating herself to only the best has led her to a life of pretentiousness she can't shake. She'd heard rumors of a new (and talented) chef being hired, so she'd set aside the past and decided to give the French restaurant another go.
"Excuse me, hi," she says when the waiter approaches, check in hand and cutomer-forward smile on their face faltering. "Nothing bad, I promise. I was wondering if I could speak to the chef? This is... I mean, it's definitely one of the best meals I've had in years and I'd like to speak with them. Please."
Winnie bats her eyes as enticingly as she possibly can, silently thankful when the waiter agrees to fetch the chef with little pushback.
