I wish we could have run this photo in the paper this morning, but hey, there's only so much newsprint to go around, right?

It's my colleague Tom Wallace's portrait of the kitchen and front-out-house staff at Piccolo, and it demonstrates just how few people are making this exceptional restaurant run, and run exceptionally well. They are (front row, from left to right): Dan Berger, chef/co-owner Doug Flicker, Alexander Holston, Polly Nielsen, Linh Ho, (back row, left to right) co-owner Jim Andrus, Bridget Harrington, Adam Johnson, Robb Sandberg and Melissa Berg.
