One NYE at Stars, with RB, Roberto etc, I remember having a 1950’s retro dessert that was reinvented: “Baked Alaska”. It was amazing. Still memorable 40 years later.

Santa Fe Bar & Grill was my first introduction to your food Jeremiah, probably 1983, when we stayed with friends in Berkeley. Stars followed and remains in my memory as one of the pinnacles of Californian food culture

The menus themselves are a tour de force. Exciting combinations of ingredients and options with prices that bring tears to my eyes.

I have tears every time I think what profits Stars would have had with $60 steaks and $18 cocktails.

Your greatest profit is the love you gave the people you fed.
