"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
When I worked in Merced, CA, there was a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that had the best Cioppino. This recipe was in the newspaper in Merced, and it's the closest to the restaurant's Cioppino I have ever tasted.
