The NCAA Tournament is coming to town and the whole city is buzzing about SU and Cornell making the Sweet Sixteen. All the headlines about Tiger Woods and Sandra Bullock... no one cares this week its all about the Orange and the Big Red!

Even though business was light last weekend during the Tournament we are looking good for this weekend with all of the out of towners coming in. We are hoping they will stop in for an early dinner before the games or maybe to watch the games on one of our TVs.

As I predicted last week the Pacific Halibut sold very quickly and the seasonal greens were great. For sure I will get in more Pacific Halibut. Also we will get some fresh whole calamari, Black Bass - two pounds each, and some Colorado Lamb. We are still waiting for the fresh green peas and I have started to look for wild leeks and sea beans. I know it is still early but I am hoping we can find some from the Southern states. I found some morel but it is too expensive to even dream about getting. It looks like we will have a great season ahead of us.

Your Chef,
