Q: Does eating lunch with David Anderson ever go out of style?

A: Have you ever asked anyone if their meal is authentic?

I know, you’re not supposed to answer a question with a question. But both answers are a resounding no (except if your are indeed David Anderson, who has no problem asking if lunch is authentic). I’ve now worked with David for 14 years. Gulp. That’s hard to even type. But he’s brought me up right, I guess. Because at the stroke of noon, my body says it’s time for lunch. Even today, when we were prepping for a 1:00 client meeting, he told me to write faster so we could go grab some grub. I did, naturally. And while we dined at the famous Groucho’s Deli, I got to hear how he took his youngest to college last week, how he needed at least two dill pickles to finish out his meal and how my heels were too high. This is typical DA style – he tells it like he sees it. I just wish he was in Columbia more often so we’d get numerous chances to reminisce over 14 years of crazy stories. Is that authentic? I thinks so.
