Quick! Name two words that link the two items in this post's title. Hint: the third photo, of me at a sidewalk trattoria in an alley in Venice, preparing to devour my own personal prosciutto crudo pizza. You guessed correctly! The two words are Healthy Appetite!
You bring a healthy appetite to Cesar, a marvelous eatery on Piedmont Avenue my sister, the writer Marianne Lonsdale, took me to recently for my birthday lunch. We had some extremely savory tapas, including a mint and lamb sandwich, and a platter of smoked meats to die for, as well as some thick cut spicy sauced fried potato wedges. The menu definitely warrants further exploration. Cesar lives up to its reputation.
And then there's "The Host," the Korean sci-fi flick with the Bush administration critique subtext, without a doubt the best monster movie in years. Lotsa jumps and scares, lotsa laughs and mucho heart, too, and the locally designed monster is fascinating and convincing. And his appetite is...healthy. Trust and believe.
