...Thank God, I am still an atheist," claims Director Luis Buñuel. On that rock he has built his crutch-a lifelong obsession with Spanish Catholicism.

...shishkebab is the specialty of the house. Blitman goes up ot the counter and asks for shishkebab. "We're all out," says Tommy. Shishkebab is a standing joke at Tommy's. They never serve it there. Blitman orders a hamburger plate. For only 85c he gets two hamburgers, one bun, two pads of butter, lettuce and tomato, mayonnaise, and french fries.
