Actually, the best pizza in the world is to be had in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The crust, made fresh immediately before use, is wheat flour, water and yeast, period. Topped with olive oil, thinly sliced garlic, sauteed mushrooms, shredded napa cabbage, papadews and feta (yes, feta) cheese. Sprinkle liberally with freshly ground black pepper and add a dash of salt. Fresh herb of choice is optional. Bake for seven to ten minutes on a rock in a very hot charcoal fired Weber grill. Infinite variations are permissable.....and have been tried. Second best is from Villa d' Carlo in Kenosha Wisconsin. g. i **** you not. |

OK since we are talking food Ill try to make a fish connection. A gastronomic event of regional if not World Class, importance, (although in mid slurp that over used term might be uttered) is the . . . Annual West Coast Oyster Shucking Championship and Washington State Seafood Festival held in early October at the Mason County fairgrounds and airport in Shelton, Wa., a major oyster production area. It attracts thousands, is cheap, Oysters incredibly fresh, prepped many ways, lots of wine and artisanal beer outfits for tastes, coastal music, kid's stuff, etc.. http://www.oysterfest.org If you like oysters this 2-3 day affair should be a goal. Shelton is on a southern reach of Puget Sound, in lumber country. Its a short haul to the coast, the Wynoochee river for steelhead, the Chehalis river system, monster beaches for clams, a bit of combat salmon fishing etc.. If you want the kids to see a chunk of America making a living from reasonably healthy forests and wetlands, this is a great event in a visually exciting region. Dave |

Corn Crab/Carp Cakes
(Four portions) 1 Pound fresh or frozen lump crabmeat (for this recipe, we use carp) 1 Cup cooked corn ½ cup finely diced onion ½ cup finely diced green bell pepper ½ cup finely diced celery 1 cup mayonnaise ½ teaspoon dry mustard Pinch of cayenne pepper Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 ¼ cups saltine cracker crumbs 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Tartar sauce Combine the crabmeat (carp), corn, onion, bell pepper, and celery in a mixing bowl and toss well. In another bowl combine the mayonnaise with the mustard and cayenne pepper. Stir into the crabmeat mixture, and add salt and pepper. Then, using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the egg and ¼ cup of the cracker crumbs. Form the crab mixture into eight patties. Carefully coat the patties with the remaining 1 cup cracker crumbs, and chill, covered, for at least 30 minutes but no longer than a few hours. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium-size skillet. Cook the crab/carp cakes over medium heat until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side, adding more oil and butter as necessary. Serve immediately with the Tartar sauce on the side. Tartar Sauce 1 cup mayonnaise 2 tsp fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Dash of Tabasco sauce ¼ cup finely diced dill pickle (or more to taste) ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley 2 tablespoons finely minced shallots 2 tablespoons tiny capers, drained Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco together in a bowl. Fold in the pickle, parsley, shallots, and capers. Season with salt and pepper, and refrigerate, loosely covered, at least 1 hour before serving. Makes 1 ½ cups Frank Reid |

Most of what passes for such stateside is crap for gringo palates that think hot means quality. And "Mexican" food is as amorphous a concept as "American" food. American food: Minnesota, Alabama, Oregon, Texas, Maryland.................what the hell is American food ? Mexican food has the same variety.

Years ago, a gas station in Italy north of Rome. great selection and great food, and some of the best Costa Rican food on the Pan Am highway, just north of where you come out on it from Santa Elena. Just some reminisces about road food. One of the best places to get seafood gumbo for many years, in all of the area from New Orleans to Mobile, was at a truck stop/gas station on I-10 at Grand Bay AL. It was just north of Bayou La Batre, a big seafood port, so it had access to literally right from the water shrimp and crab. Folks would come from around the area to get it. When the long-time cook who made it retired, they still made it, but it went gradually downhill. The place was turned into one of the modern "travel plazas" with a commissaried restaurant, and that was that. And speaking of Bayou La Batre, it reminds of another "road food" tradition. When traveling, we used to get a container of crab claws (these come with the meat shelled but the pincer on as a "handle" in 1 lb / 1/2 kg. "cups"), pour on some "Italian" dressing, put the lid on, and let marinate until we were ready for lunch or stopped for the evening and with a loaf of New Orleans-style French bread, some butter, and a bottle of wine, it was a meal. And in much of SW LA, folks get their boudin balls from gas stations - some great, some, well, not so much, but I'd say that gas stations are the largest (public) outlet of them in pure numbers. Just some more reminisces on road food.... TC, R |

Pizza, tamales, and Jo Jo's, catch or release
I grew up eating Baja style Mexican. More spices cooked into the meat
with less sauce ladled over the top and a whole bunch of fish. The first time I had "Tex Mex" I sent it back and Chihuahan (?) just tasted weird. Frank Reid |

Frank Reid Lots of fish and shrimp, lite on the hot, in West Coast Mex, say Zihuatanejo up thru Mazatlan. Coco's in Zihua alone is worth the ticket. But at least 10-15 years ago you could find many diff varieties of good Mex and Latin American food in LA. My faves were Yucatec and Uruguayan/Argentine. Least fave . . . Cuban (heavy, bland, wired on coffee, politics and cigar smoke). Now a Tampa style lunch, Cuban pork sandwich with beans and rice, thats a whole nuther thang. Dave |
