| More on caviar: This from Alicia at Tsar Nicholia
Caviar up in the bay area (415-543-3001). She asked me to pass along her recommendation
that beginners try whitefish or trout caviar. Both are very mild and can be shipped
anywhere. By the way, don't try to eat those salmon eggs that are used for bait. I know
that if someone is really hungry they might start looking pretty good, but they are
treated with chemicals to keep them hard so, don't eat the bait - okay? As to eating caviar, here's one of my favorites: bake a
potato, cut it open and fluff it up. Add a bit of |

crème fraîche, chopped red onion and fresh cracked pepper. Now add a big dollop of trout
or whitefish caviar. Warning to you men - all that protein will make you as strong as a
bull! Readers:
So you want to be in the restaurant business? Let me share a recent story from one of my
restaurants - initials W.S. During some kind of sports playoff game (in case you
didn't know, I don't pay attention), two men and a woman were watching the game at the bar
while waiting for their entrees. My rule is the game can be on as long as the sound is
turned down, in honor of what everyone should be there to do - dine. |

| Well, one of the men
asked the bartender to turn up the sound and when told the rule, he went to his car and
brought back a radio, which he then placed on the bar, tuned to the game and turned it up.
When the manager approached him, politely asking him to remove the radio, the three of
them just decided to leave. Of course they didn't bother to pay for their wine, cocktails
and food, so my manager followed them down the street until he found one of Monterey's
finest who promptly escorted them back to pay their bill. Special thanks to the Monterey
Police. |
