If there is no love more sincere than the love of food you’ll find your soul mate in Chef Robuchon’s cuisine.

"Other sites have outlined the history of this piece. But a quick recap: Ty Warner, owner of the Four Seasons New York, hired famed Michelin Star chef Joel Robuchon to be his executive head chef at the L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon – the premier restaurant in the hotel. The restaurant was set to open on September 5th, 2006. Mr. Warner invited select food critics, journalists, and other guests/prominent foodies in NYC to attend dinner on one of three evenings (Sept 18, 19, or 20th, 2006). Exactly how these bears were distributed is unclear, but for particular journalists/reporters, the bear was sent out as an invite, with a a special red invite. Now here is the bit that is a bit less certain, and leads into a bit of the subtly of this bear. It is said Ty made about 200 examples of this piece, but we do not believe all 200 went out as “invites” to journalists. This is speculation, but stick with us for a second. The ones that did, came with a “complete” red invite, clearly prompting advanced RSPV’s ahead of the event. Other examples were given out with a “blank” red invite that omitted the date selection. We believe these were examples given out either at the event, or shortly thereafter by Ty/Chef Robuchon to guests. More examples still may have been distributed at the event itself without any invite/box at all. After all, no need for an invite once you were already at the event. And Ty typically likes to give mementoes to guests/members of his posh properties (Coral Casino bear to club members, San Ysidro Bently cat sold at the ranch gift shop, etc.).

Ty has made event-exclusive Beanies plenty of times before, but this one is substantially rarer than, for example, even the Billionaire Bears. RarestBeans.com poses a couple of theories: first of all, the foodies and journalists recieving these weren't really Beanie fanatics and might not have considered these valuable at all. Furthermore, some of the invited journalists probably had limitations on the value of gifts they could accept, and to sell these Beanies for the thousands they might have been worth would be a breach of contract. One way or another, RarestBeans.com posits that only a dozen or so have hit the collector market, ever. Whether the other ~180 are still out there we'll never know.

However, in 2018, Chef Roubuchon passed away and one more was revealed by his estate: Chef Roubuchon's personal bear. This is literally a one-of-a-kind piece, sporting curly brown fur and padded feet to differentiate itself from the rest. This may literally be the most valuable Beanie of all time.

Huge thanks as always to Becky and Karen at truebluebeans.com for much of this information.

Bently the Cat – Beanie Baby

[velcroandvelour]

Aurora’s son, Dean Henley, is the new heir and im definitely in love with this soft beanie babey. Right now he’s a student at Britchester studying biology. After the deaths of his father, Robert Henley, and his younger sister, Beatriz Henley, Dean vowed to become a doctor and to help those in need.

more ramblings under

His mother taught him the joys of knitting and he is currently working on the knitting aspiration. He’s almost done with university, i think he needs just 3 more classes after this current semester. He proposed to his childhood bestfriend/high school sweetheart/love of his life, Scarlet Zapata. They’ll get married once he’s done with university and they get that apartment they always wanted. They actually already have a baby together, baby Levi. Levi lives with his mom in san myshuno while Dean is living in the dorms. He visits them practically every day of course when he isnt in class or at soccer. he was never that much into athleticism when he was younger but he has a passion for soccer.

this used to be the Egan family but a few generations ago they lost the last name (i forgot to change it to egan and now its too late) but thats ok. part of me almost wishes i didnt make everyone keep the last name egan so i could see how different it would be through the generations. right now dean is the 8th generation and it was Egan up until his grandmother took on the last name Bently.

also sidenote Aurora remarried a guy named Bryce Montgomery so now she’s a Montgomery. Bryce hates children so luckily Dean and his younger sister are a bit older. He doesnt have the best relationship with his stepfather but Dean knows Bryce does right by Aurora and Daisy (dean’s younger sister. shes a mermaid) he obviously has no problems with the occult seeing as Aurora is half alien.

Dean looks so much like his father, but with his mom’s signature pout. I somehow never got a picture of Robert? But he was a mermaid from Sulani that Aurora met on vacation and they hit it off right away
