Thanks for asking Arnold my question Bob, I was curious to know how he would answer the REKO question.
I’m happy to say that John’s Oyster Bar is alive and well, with Lazy Man’s Cioppino on the menu. Although I see that on the Web site they’re now just calling it the Oyster Bar. Seems a totally unnecessary slap in the face to the recently departed John Ascuaga. How many today even remember him, I wonder? And his public memorial service was held at the Peppermill, not at the Nugget. Phew!
