MEXICAN BANANA SPLIT
...
The Sunday Daily News, Sunday Now! section, 17 April 2005, pg. 33, has a recipe for "Mexican Banana Split" (ice cream, fruit, and Kahlua) from Dos Caminos Park Avenue. Where does this dish come from? Probably not Mexico, but Las Vegas or Austin or New York?

I'm wondering if maybe appetizers aren't a big thing at Casa Cocina -- especially considering the soup and the tempting desserts that included the unlikely Mexican Banana Split -- and that therefore the kitchen doesn't get much practice with them. Whether that's the case or not, they need to work on them, because the starters dragged down some truly inspired entrees.

"BARY POPIK" IN OUP BOOK
...
So it's Friday, and I'm dead tired, and I'm doing parking tickets in the room with no air and all the dust, and the guard tells me to go faster. And I'm thinking, I'm a "judge" taking orders from the guard? How much worse than life get?

ECHOES FROM THE LUNCH WAGON:
'Tis dogs' delight to bark and bite,
Thus does the adage run,
But I delight to bite the dog
When placed inside a bun.
...
This from the _Yale Record_ in October 1895, written in affectionate reference to the school's "Kennel" Club--a lunch wagon that sold sausages that may or may not have included a bit of canine filler. The word _hot_ got added that same month, and so an American institution was born.
