When Anna Wintour Wants Avocado, Pastis Goes Grocery Shopping

Few names in New York, where billionaires and celebrities stroll about in excess, have hot spots bending over backwards to accommodate their every wish.

Most have a difficult enough time desperately clawing their way to a reservation at downtown's beloved bistro Pastis. But there's at least one frequent well-known diner who apparently has her run of the kitchen, and we can't say we're surprised. 

This weekend, pop culture Instagram account @Deuxmoi,which features crowdsourced celebrity stories, published a clarification to a previous story submitted about Anna Wintour's pushy penchant for avocados.

While it seems that Anna isn't as bossy as originally related, there are still many amazing things to ponder about this situation.

First, how the hell does Pastis not have avocado? This is 2020 in New York. I'm pretty sure lack of avocado means you automatically fail food code regulations.

Second, we've all been there. Consistently ordering something off the menu or in a slightly different preparation at a restaurant, only to be met with a new waiter who's not hip to what you and the chef have got going on. 

Third, which magazine was she flipping through!? Wouldn't you just die if she's like super into Car And Driver, or exclusively reads Highlights Magazine for the hidden pictures page?

And finally, do you think that Anna knows they don't have avocado? And if so, how many other non-avocado stocked spots is she sending into a tizzy around town? Does her assistant know to give places a list of off-menu ingredients she may or may not be inclined to order there?
