Shorty I could take you there

Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of my first date with the wife.  I took her to Jean-Georges to celebrate. 
 
Jean-Georges is one of the three restaurants in NYC that have three Michelin stars (Per Se and Le Bernardin are the others).  We've dined in the Nougatine room of Jean-Georges before, but never in the more formal dining room.
 
Between the bay scallops with winter truffles and crispy arctic char, I looked at her lovingly and said, "On our first date I took you to Triomphe and I got some serious heavy petting.  What am I going to get for Jean-Georges?"
 
She said, "Ah, a wife?"
