Later that afternoon, the Golds would meet up in Cooke's restaurant, as they had a reservation there.
They savored the delicious offerings, ordering a variety of viands, side dishes, and others. In addition to enjoying their meal, they also placed takeaway orders for the next day and even secured another reservation.
'Takeout orders' —as they were called—weren't usually allowed in Cooke's restaurant. However, the Golds paid a lot of premium so they were allowed to do so.
Ansel also sold them a preliminary version of what he called 'insulation box' which was designed to increase a food's shelf life, especially when it was inside the space. They didn't understand how it worked, but they trusted the guy and if what he said was true, then that amount of money was too worth it.
As for why they had to do so, it was because they were finally going back to the city.
Ugh.
