i hear they serve liquor too. as i understand this is possible b/c although mr. chodorow is in fact a convicted felon, his conviction was federal, not state. close call!

Actually, it's not real caviar at all. It's tapioca "caviar", which consists of tapioca that have been marinated in teriyaki. It goes really well with the "bananas", which are really fried sweet plantain chips. The sweetness of the chips, the saltiness of the "caviar"--definitely a great complimentary starter. I was going to mention it in the review but then I didn't get the chance.

This is a caviar coincidence. I have been thinking about it alot lately because I always ate it on New Year's Eve. What kind do they serve?
