All it takes to appreciate the Mayflower is a love of Redfish the way Jerry Kontouras does it, a love of people, wether you've met them or not, and a love of turn-of-the-century storefront restaurants.
My son is the chef at Bravo, and I am there often, but the Mayflower is the place to experience the satisfying nearness of a hundred people I know by name or face. Judges and carpenters, artists and CEO's, newcomers to Jackson and freshmen on their first date. And, oh, the food if you liked what you had last year, it'll be the same next year. Very reassuring.
