Grilled Ridicchio

Sally Albright's high maintenance food ordering:

Chef salad with the oil and vinegar on the side and the apple pie a la mode. Pie heated, ice cream on the side, not on top. Strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it, if not, then no ice-cream just whipped cream but only if it's real. If it's out of a can, then just the pie but then not heated.

Bloody Mary: regular tomato juice filled up about three quarter then add a splash of Bloody Mary mix and a little piece of lime but on the side.

Huge tiered coconut cake with a very rich chocolate sauce on the side.


Jess Fisher quotes:

Restaurants have become too important.

Restaurants are to people in the 80s what theatre was to people in the 60s.

Pesto is the quiche of the 80s.
