    It was one of those special days where we went downtown Cincinnati from our small town. Yeah, I remember a lot of those. I remember the little open air hot dog stand by what was then Fountain Square we often went that served grape drink in triangular paper cups supported by metal holders like at a soda fountain. I remember the department stores and the unique little shops all over the place and the parking garage wit the tight circular ramp - I am amazed you could get the cars of the day through it!

    The pasta dish was unlike anything I had ever had, so it made an impression as did Scotti's. No waiter writes anything down, and you don't get a bill. You go to the 'Confession Booth' as the sign says. Be honest. They know what you had.

      Yes, the decor and food combination would make it memorable. That's a classic of a restaurant. None other like it.

        I love places like that. They are increasingly rare.

          I finally made the rigatoni tonight and it is AMAZING. Very unexpected flavors, and something I would expect from a better kitchen than mine. MFR is not impressed.

          Pro tip: cook the livers in butter for a couple minutes before trying to mince them.

          Tomorrow I will make Faux Gras, a Foie Gras with chicken liver.

                I stopped at "liver."

                "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Brilliant. But you are still a chicken. 😄
