And then the night that Hurricane Sandy hit New York City, I was at Anchorage Capitol at that point.

I just got home from work and saw her in the hallway and I invited her up to our apartment for dinner.

She had told me that she closed her restaurants down because Hurricane Sandy that night.

And she said, okay, what are we having?

I said, I'm going to cook.

And she said, you're going to cook for me.

I said, yeah.

And she was like, well, what are you going to make?

And I said, I'm actually going to make bolognese, which is pasta.

And it's like, you're going to make bolognese for me?

And Missy Robbins at that point was two Michelin stars and known for pasta.

And she said, you got a lot of balls making pasta for me.

And I said, trust me, I can't do much, but I love bolognese.

I obsess about it.

And that night she came up, we had bolognese.

And I guess it was good because she stayed almost all night.

And my wife, Marie, and I told each other our life stories to her.

She told hers to us.

And my daughter was about one years old then.

That night, she told my wife and I that she was going to be leaving her restaurant in 2013.
