Hey, Geoffski, $5 says that he pleads "intentional mistake to see if 
anyone was educated enough to notice."


ObFood:  Basix, at the corner of Santa Monica and Flores, for
supper last night.  Despite the precious orthography, we liked
very much.  Service was fast and friendly, and when the waiter
forgot our appetizer, he was apologetic without being Heepish.

The Resident Lurker had the turkey meatloaf, which was Italianate,
down to an aromatic sauce ladled over the slices.  I had the
hanger steak, which was served with a chimichurri-like sauce
of garlic, herbs, and capers (there's a name for it, but I'm
blanking on it right now).  The steak was excellent (and, for
once in my life, as rare as I ordered it), and the sauce was
even better.

Both plates came with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
The RL clucked that the potatoes had "been beat within an inch
of their lives," but at least they hadn't been food-processed
(breaking all the starch molecules and yielding a gluey puree).
The broccoli was done just right.  Everything was washed down
with a Sierra Nevada and a Rosemount Shiraz.

The one serious downside to Basix, aside from nomenclature,
is parking:  There are about three legal parking spaces within
trekking distance.  We were lucky enough to get one, but only
after spending a quarter of an hour driving around and swearing.
Our space only hove into view once we had agreed we were going
back to Northkoreatown for bibimbap and panchan.



Rage away,
