You’re cutting back. You’re eating out less. But if you still have the means to splurge on a fancy meal, now’s the time to try to get that longed-for table at the French Laundry.

To be sure, the Yountville restaurant considered one of the very best in the world, is still full every night. But as a result of this nightmarish economy, it’s now a little easier to get a reservation.

Find out how and why by reading my contribution to today’s “Inside Scoop” column in the San Francisco Chronicle.

  • Are you writing for the Chron now?

  • Yes, I am writing regularly for the Chron now, as a freelancer. I’ve been doing about one story or so a month for that paper. It’s been wonderful to be able to still write food stories for a newspaper, especially one that has such an outstanding and well-read food section.

  • I have to agree – I snagged a Sat lunch table through OpenTable for later this month back in Jan, but within the two month window.

  • Oh yay! I’m so glad that worked out for you, Neeracha. I hope you have a fabulous lunch. I have no doubt that you will.
