Thomas Pynchon in his 1973 work "Gravity's Rainbow" - “Our history is an aggregation of last moments, ...” It was such the loveliest ever experience, spending my last morning at “The Ben” in West Palm Beach, Florida, at “Proper Grit” for just the most fabulously wonderful day’s beginning! While it might be a celebration all about their amazing food & breakfast, & about the bright sunshine streaming in through floor to ceiling windows. At the same time, it isn’t, as those things are not at all the most important story… It is more about the people & the smiles of the beautiful staff, who made every moment, into just the loveliest memories, to be carried inside always. The hosts Ruth & Novia were endlessly lovely, brightening each day with their happy care & sincere sweet greetings. Juan was my waitstaff during this as well as many other days. Perfectly fantastic, warm, authentically enthusiastic & friendly, he made every morning bright, transforming ordinariness into magic. Maybe for some, Disney is the happiest place on earth, … But saying true things out loud, I have discovered that feeling at “The Ben” & “Proper Grit” in their incredible food & more importantly, their beautifully lovely people!

The seafood stew was excellent and the rice suggested by the waiter was the perfect complement. We were also offered a custom desert that was superb. Iced creme brûlée cappuccino made with creme brûlée liquor. Our waiter was both attentive and sociable.
