Food for Thoughts: Barrafina with Dr Jerome Booth, founder of New Sparta

Apologies for my absence from these pages, I have been suffering from a condition I am calling GARDS (Generalised Age-Related Decrepitude Syndrome). It could be chronic, but hopefully will not rule out future visits to restaurants with interesting people, which is the point of this column. Jerome Booth is my new role model because he seems to be enjoying a GARDS-bashing mid-life renaissance.
