TOLEDO. Spanish Chef Francisco Gon zalez from Madrid's Jockey Club turns out fine food (sea bass in parchment, tournedos, partridges with grapes of Almeria).

The Green Room is done in the Federal style prevalent in the days of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the Blue Room in the French imports of the Monroe era, 1817-25, and the Red Room in the gilt and scarlet of the Empire style of the late 1830s...
