Comments on: The Magic Pan http://www.saltshaker.net/20061202/the-magic-pan Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:34:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: bruce http://www.saltshaker.net/20061202/the-magic-pan#comment-8514 bruce Thu, 14 Dec 2006 12:50:16 +0000 http://www.saltshaker.net/20061202/the-magic-pan#comment-8514 It seems that anything Rich Melman touches since Grunts has long lines forming to get in.My friend,barber,customer and one time landlord Jerry Orzoff used his client list from his shop which was made up of the young Movers+Shakers of Chicago to get grunts off the ground and LEYE never saw earth again!Jerry was Melmans first partner. Rich comes from a restaurant family and I used to eat in their Deli/Rest when I moved to Skokie in the 60s, named after their son,. Mr Rickys.Lots of big time Restranteurs seem to come from the area.The Mortons father and son originally from the S.Side moved to Skokie.My cousin who also has a few dozen Rests and another guy that I cant think of his name now.Been 30+ years. Eight years ago I was in Skokie visiting family and friends and some friends who also have a rest. insisted that my son and I had to go to this Fab Japanese rest in Wilmette.After entering it took me less than a minute to realize my son,whose mother is Japanese,was the only Japanese in the place.Korean imposters were the owners and a bunch of illegals were the so called Sushi Chefs(becoming a Sushi Chef takes a few years of work in JP.) It takes big bucks to live in Wilmette so youd think the people would have some brains but they proved that all Asians look alike to them! A couple months ago Chuck Stull was looking for Challa and I sent him your link.He also posts on Uruguay living which is a blog run by The Christian Right(KKK) and gun lovers from the USA.Im sure they would burn us at the stake and probably burn you twice.Sorry,I would never have thought a guy looking for Challa would wouldnt have any common sense. Hope you got the drift on the Fab JP Rest. peace,bruce It seems that anything Rich Melman touches since Grunts has long lines forming to get in.My friend,barber,customer and one time landlord Jerry Orzoff used his client list from his shop which was made up of the young Movers+Shakers of Chicago to get grunts off the ground and LEYE never saw earth again!Jerry was Melmans first partner.

There are also Lo de los Hijos de Carlitos. There my even be Lo de los Primos de Carlitos and any other family member that wants to jump in on the bandwagon. I think they started the first one along the coast somewhere. I am really bad at giving you detail but I can only point you in the general direction. The other one that you can visit is along Libertador right in front of the Carrefour just on the other side of the General Paz. If you keep going a little ways keep your eyes peeled on the same side of the road and you will come across the Lo de los Hijos de Carlitos. I think I went to the original one in Villa Gessell I believe. They even opened one up in an enclosed comunity called San Diego but the location was terrible and closed soon along with all the other shops that opened in that "suburb".
