My friend, Marie, who recently retired from the Health Department as a Food 
Kop tells me that they skate *verrrry* close to the edge on their sanitation 
and food safety practices.

Around here International has been (until this one) Chinese and S.E. Asian 
almost exclusively with very little "Murrican" grub.

LuLu's is quietly halal AFAICS, and mostly S.W. Asian and Mediterranean stuff. 
I've not got back to see what Ali has done with the chilli recipe(s) I gave 
him.   Bv)=
