I tried to source it, spending an hour or so on line figuring maybe you'd heard something I hadn't. Finding nothing more than the original press clippings announcing that the restaraunt was in "hot water" (but NO follow up), I gave up & just called Paul McIlhenny himself. We chatted a bit about old times & chile peppers & then got the low down. I think I can pretty well trust his word on the subject :-) -Jim http://www.StepUpforCharity.org
