There is a trend in Miami dining, as everywhere else, to put the chef’s face on everything. Like the chef? Love the restaurant! This works for the most part because chefs caught on some time ago that they could be more successful, i.e., make more money, by pretending they were more than just cooks, more than just a face behind a stove.

At a show I attended at the Bottom Line in the '70's, there was a problem with the sound, and CB and the Magic Band had to stop playing. As the roadies were trying to straighten it out, someone in the crowd yelled, "Why don't you read some poetry!" Beefheart said, "What, poetry doesn't have to sound good?" He also played a mean harp. You never forget a Beefheart gig.
