Bäcos, anyone?

Today's LA Times spells Joseph Centeno's creation with an umlaut, as in ... b ä c o.

Chef Centeno, are you there?

Can you please let us know if that's the correct spelling?

Philologically inclined chow communards will appreciate feedback from you ( or anyone else in the loop ).

I really enjoyed that video. Sounds like they're still waiting on the liquor license, dang.

"I really enjoyed that video. Sounds like they're still waiting on the liquor license, dang."

In LA, that can take years :).

[slacker]

Years? I don't think so.
I believe he wanted to wait to get the license before doing the tasting menu, so hopefully he'll get it soon.

yeah, it does have the ".." over the "a" at least according to the lunch menu.

I needed to be told, others may too, that bäcos rhymes with "tacos".

[Vaya Con Carne]

Yup. Me too. First time I saw it in print, sans diacritic, I thought it had something to do with bacon bits :)
