...fired the fatal shot. This shadowy figure, Caldwell says, seemed to be focusing his attention on the balcony where King's aides were hovering around the fallen civil rights leader. Caldwell lost track of him in the confusion. His account is in line with the story told by Harold ("Cornbread") Carter, who was drinking wine in a cardboard shelter near the flophouse when the killing occurred. Carter claimed a white man with a rifle walked right past him to the foot of the embankment--precisely where Caldwell spotted a crouching figure--and fired at the motel. Yet the FBI never...
Sonfields': Ah, the good stuff! The stuffing was a cornbread base, jazzed up with raisins and sausage; the chef's best ever, even though she burnt it a bit (but the crispy stuff was the best part). The pureed sweet potatoes and asparagus with cheese were impressive variations on the traditional vegetable options. The cranberry bread was a balanced ensemble of sweet and tart. The gravy was a light one, mostly turkey drippings; the stuffing didn't even need it. The cranberry relish was enhanced with pears, but I still hate the stuff. And the chestnuts and prunes were spectacular...
...like anything special, but it's really quite a pick-you-up. The focaccia--served with fresh olive oil, in a swampy herb-filled bottle--is heavenly. It is slightly crispy with a hint of salt and seasoning, and it tastes even better when dipped in the oil. The cornbread, on the other hand, is just too damn sweet (nothing like Rosalita's). And none of us even touched the solitary roll...
...entrees are reasonably priced, mostly $7.00 to $13.00. Their size, yet again, is almost unreasonably large, but that's not really a negative, now is it? Add to that the buffet to satisfy all of your side-dish fetishes (cornbread), and you'll find the appetizers are quite honestly unnecessary. But as for the taste...when we took our first bite of an enormous brick of a beef burrito bursting with rabbit food filler, the long line at the Border became understandable. The shrimps and mussels prepared in a "Veracruz style" is aesthetically pleasing but is in reality a watered...
Despite our less than spectacular experience, Rosalita's does offer promise, especially as an alternative to those mammoth lines down the block. It's worth the trip just to have Lora's chili and the picnic bar (cornbread), and you don't even come out smelling like a chain-smoker's fried chicken cook...
