There are lots of good things to say about Café Cecilia, but may I start with the shallowest? You can come off the motorway from way out in the flatlands, zigzag through the surface streets of east London, turn on to Andrews Road and park. Right outside. You can sit in a window seat, look out over the canal, the narrow boats, the vast Victorian gasworks — and your car. It is disorienting. I don’t think it impaired my critical faculties, but I was halfway through the main before I could stop myself gazing through the glass at my decomposing SUV and idiotically mouthing, “Look, my car!” I mean, this is “gritty E8”. I’ve only previously managed Restaurant Dream Parking in LA.
关于塞西莉亚咖啡馆(Café Cecilia)，有很多好东西可以说，但我可以从最浅显的说起吗？你可以从平地的高速公路上下来，穿过伦敦东部的地面街道，转到安德鲁斯路并停车。就在外面。你可以坐在窗边的座位上，眺望运河、狭窄的船只、巨大的维多利亚式煤气厂——还有你的车。这让人迷失方向。我不认为它损害了我的批判能力，但我在主食吃到一半时，才阻止自己透过玻璃凝视我那辆正在腐烂的SUV，并白痴般地念叨："看，我的车！" 我的意思是，这就是 "狡黠的E8"。我以前只在洛杉矶管理过餐厅梦想停车场。
