The first time that I had that linguine with seafood dish was at Carmine’s on Santa Monica Blvd.
We loved that restaurant.
It’s just up the street from the enormous Mormon Temple.

Been thinking of San Diego. It's been about 25 years since I was there. Loved going to the beach at the Coronado Hotel, which had been used as a backdrop for one of my favorite movies about movies, The Stunt Man.

And Some Like it Hot.

I spent many a winter there with my aunt and uncle, who rented a place at Coronado Shores for 4 months, just to get away from Baltimore.
Such a charming town.

Thanks DR JANE I am hoping if the weather is as bad as predicted court may be delayed......

Good news about the book.....and yes I think sending it to MM as originally written is the best idea.

Then it was the belated birthday meal at BJ's in Burbank. I had a lunch special - one smallish fried chicken breast in country gravy, mashed potatoes and some corn thing. It was really good. I also had a cup of clam chowder. It really wasn't that much food, but boy was I full. Then it was their famous pizzookie, chocolate chip. I could only manage half of it. I feel ever so disgusting right now.

Even with feeling disgusting, it seems like a delicious kind of disgusting!

I definitely ate at Andre's but I'm not sure I ever had the fettuccine.

I am referring to the fancy restaurant vs the quick one that is still there. They simply gave you a fettuccine, maybe when they served a plate of bread.

The first time I ever had spinach fettuccine was on a date with Keith at Andre's of Beverly Hills restaurant. They served us each a little bowl of it with a marinara sauce.

I remember Andre’s!

Here’s a fun story, not written by me.

“The only real memory I have of the Beverly Hills Andre’s was one time my family was there, dining with some wealthy friends who were paying. We were waiting for the valet to bring us our car for a fee roughly equal to the cost of a complete lasagna dinner at the other Andre’s. Suddenly, about six limousines converged on the place, and official-looking men jumped out and began clearing the way for the passenger from one. It was Robert Kennedy. I waved to him and he waved back.”

LOL, I read that today when I was searching for something about their spinach fettuccini.

Jane, you have a great memory.
I found this article when I was going through my favorite L.A. restaurants.

“It was so long ago when a date took me to Andre’s fine dining on a date, then considered “the” place in Beverly Hills, all I remember – as though it was yesterday – was the ritual and what I was wearing (A “little black dress” with matching short jacket lined in teal, and high heels, of course. But, ah, what impressive ritual! First to arrive was the huge platter of antipasti— then a salad – then spinach noodles with red sauce – then the entrée.”

You found it. THANK YOU

I forgot about the platter of antipasti.

Jane · « **Reply #139 on:** January 22, 2024, 06:04:27 PM »

Keith took me to Andre's a number of times, and then we stopped going there on dates as his parents began taking both of us there. The wait staff was just as nice to us at seventeen as they were when we went with his parents.

All Crete will be at your feet? (almost a Sondheim reverence)

For sightseeing and touring, that is.
