theme thursday = kitchen

Avatars, Sausalito, Ca

The kitchen is their shrine

the cook their priest

the table their altar

and their belly their god.

My post was going to be something different,
and then, through some research in case
we get a chance to see my family and friends
in the bay area again, I found out that
Avatar had died in 1999.

Sad thing is, we last were in the area
in 1999 prior to opening our coffeehouse,
for the SCAA coffee convention
and had a meal at the Sausalito location.

Evidently he died not long after
that month we were there.

What draws most people to the location
was/is the food, and next was Avatar and his wife,
and now another relative, pictured above.
It's a combination of Jamaican and
Indian cuisine and is most tasty.

And you could never leave without having
a chai and the dessert pictured above.
Although most of us knew he had a heart problem
due to second hand smoke
(he did not smoke himself)
I did not know the whole
story until I found it
here.

I will miss seeing him when
I get a chance to get back!
It was always a pleasure to consume
any food coming out of his kitchen!
