Bravissimo, and thanks for posting a recipe. I visited Johnny's, a Soulard
area St. Louis bar, on Friday and had a taste of their version of Cioppino
that had a fair touch of heat, and an excellent flavor balance.
The amply charming young lady tending bar indicated she did not
particularly care for it. She did evidence remarkable intuition; my boss
and I both ordered the red beans and rice, but she looked me in the eye to
ask, "Do you want Tobasco with that?" (How did she know?)
