  • Tim wants to travel Europe and do comedy everywhere once quarantine ends, realizing he missed his chance during the shutdown.
  • European comedy tours are worth it now that he's gained notoriety; tickets will sell where they wouldn't have before.
  • La Bernardin is one of the best seafood restaurants in the world, a glittering palace that rivals Paris's greatest restaurants.
  • Tim went to La Bernardin as a teenager on a date and it fundamentally changed how he evaluates everything else.
  • Experiencing greatness like Patrice O'Neal's special or La Bernardin provides a calibration point that organizes everything else in your head.
  • Those unrepeatable configurations—the location, the era, the people involved—are what make certain restaurants and comics irreplaceable.
