Niman, a bioengineer at Harvard University, suggests that even now the virus could be spreading undetected through people who carry it without developing symptoms, only to become deadly again during the colder months. (Scientists theorize that SARS cases might spike in the winter, as cold and flu viruses do.) Like...
...entrée (or at least that’s what the guy sitting next to me found appropriate). Finding high-quality food in such a low-pretense atmosphere is certainly admirable, and this is what the Blue Room aspires to achieve. Though the restaurant brags about the Niman Ranch lineage of its meats and aspires to some impressive culinary heights, there is nary a drop of snootiness to be found in the entire place...
