My lovely wife Ann and I are revisiting some spots in New Mexico next week where we honeymooned 25 years ago. So prior to our absence this week I am posting various scribblings from a sketchbook I kept while in Lincoln, NM in 1978. Here is my good old buddy, the late lamented Matt.

mado

By Chicago, foodNo Comments

We went to “mado”, a BYOB restaurant in Wicker Park, Saturday night. The decor is nothing outstanding. I did like our tabletop alot…roughly textured boards with a nailed sheet metal strip down the center…the nails ground down smooth. “mado” does a great thing by purchasing from local farms within the natural “foodshed” as Joel Salatin dubs it. However, I was less than satisfied with my entree, a bowl of seafood stew…one-third of which was a chunk of bread…the stew was bland, amazing, considering that it was topped with a home-made green salsa. And it was $18! No sides or anything! Several of the other diners complained that their salads were salty. Whoever heard of a salty salad? Overall disappointing…the sketch above is of the man responsible, the chef and boss…he was wearing odd shoes with elven type tips which looked good on him.

A smattering of unfinished sketchbook drawings…the great cartoonist R. Crumb routinely depicts the modern technological clutter, such as power lines, which form such an ugly, inelegant background to our everyday life…objects which many of us probably barely notice because we are so used to it.
