![]() Bennet immediately asked for “salmon and broccoli, and maybe a little Caesar salad?”. Regina and I looked over the kids menu at the Heathman in Portland mostly the usual suspects - chicken fingers, buttered noodles. His response, “I really liked the filet of sole you made last night, Dad.” And I remember another time at my pre-wedding rehearsal dinner. “Would you like a grilled cheese sandwich, or maybe a couple of miniburgers for dinner?” was my question to him. I recall a moment two years ago, when I was planning dinner for just the two of us. He might not end up enjoying everything, but he tries it for sure.īennet has pretty advanced tastes for a kid, which is apparent in his love for fish, especially salmon. But I’m happy that he’ll try most things - any kind of salad, garlicky bok choy, spicy Japanese pickles, crab legs, lobster claws, shaved black truffles, fried abalone, grilled squid. I dearly hope he grows out of this phase and embraces tomatoes like I do. I say “almost” simply because he cannot be cajoled or bribed into eating tomatoes. He helps me in the kitchen with simple tasks, he sets the table, and he’s almost fearless when it comes to eating. Even at age seven, he’s exhibiting a real interest in food.
