THE RECORD
Eating Out on $50 is a monthly restaurant feature. Two people determined to spend only $50 on dinner, drinks, tax and tip will discover just how much can be purchased for so little.
What do you do after the waiter takes your order? Sip wine? Hum along with canned music? Watch TV? Talk with your dinner companion?
At Baste, you can browse the bookshelves. That’s where, among a collection of about 50 titles, I found “At the Center of the Storm” by George Tenet, the former director of the CIA; Bob Woodward’s “Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate”; and a biography of Harry S Truman.
There also are some of Baste chef Alex Gorant’s favorite cookbooks. “We thought [books] might be an interesting way to spend the time until dinner arrives,” Gorant, a part owner, told me a few days after my visit.
