Betty: We went to Luchow's once, in 1985, when the wind chill (January) in Times Square was -52 degrees and the wind was blowing a gale !! We were enroute to Africa, so we didn't really have cold-weather gear along !! About froze our tushes, but the food at Luchow's was wonderful. Yes, I've been cooking out of it for years, too. Imagination and experimentation applied to their already-wonderful recipes creates some amazing treats, eh? Dave Ross
