Things that should be done on the clock include the 100m, the 200m, the 400m, the 800m, the 1500m… you get the idea with that. Things that should not be done under the pressure of a stopwatch include having dinner.
That’s why the whole ‘bottomless brunch’ business has never held much appeal. Having someone time me eating? It’s bad enough when you’re told your table is needed back in two hours.
All this concerns me before I re-enter SakkuSamba, the Brazilian-Japanese (yep) fusion restaurant which opened on Bridge Street last summer. I was there on opening night. Immediately behind the table was a gentleman in a studded gold lamé catsuit on a raised runway, vigorously gyrating and high kicking. He was almost in your dinner.
