I see that Zuni Cafe is still cooking. It's been 15 years since I first ate there, and I'll never forget that dinner, for many reasons, but Judy Rodgers' brick oven roasted chicken with bread salad remains one of my all-time favorite dishes. I've made a reasonable facsimile of it at home (without the brick oven) and it's still pretty damn good, but nothing compared to the original.
Well, I also see (via BVV) that Zuni won this year's James Beard Foundation Outstanding Restaurant award at the gala dinner earlier this week. That's quite an honor.
