    Onions

    Has there ever been a case where a restaurant was about to go under and then the chef cut an onion and then saved the restaurant from going under?

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

    Maybe in a movie.

    Successful restaurants avoid onions like the plague.

    The answer is no. Chefs do not cut onions, that would be the job of the sous chef.

    Re: Onions

    yes!

    The name of the restaurant was "La Cervesa Turbinado" ("the murky beer") and it was located just off the beach in the small village of Pesta on the Bay of Campeche in Old Mexico.
    As legend has it, Pepe Lopez would pass through each year prior to the holidays on his way norte to bring tequila, and thus happiness, to the gringos of EUA. Well, one year the rivers were running high and Pepe lost his trusty burro (and tequila) in the raging torrent. It was too late to turn back so he pressed on to the village of Pesta to try and trade for the horrendous tequila popular thereabouts. Not good, but something.
    La Cervesa Turbinado quickly saw the magnatude of the situation and pitched in, offering free meals to those who'd bring in their private stores of rasty old tequila. Pepe had almost enough to justify his trip norte when the food ran short. Only the cook's quick thinking and creation of 'onion/habanero' soft tacos saved the day by attracting vegan campesinos in their thousands.
    Pepe's journey was saved, but the restaurant, out of food and out of tequila, was doomed. Until, that is, Jane Fonda heard of the generousity and creativity of the cooks and prevailed upon Boone Pickens to give the restaurant $55,000,000.
    And that''s how a cook, cutting an onion, saved a restaurant about to go under.

    And next week, children, we'll have another story from the "Non-Sequitor Storybook". Goodnight and sleep well!
