[Tuna Tartares, ceviches and such...]

Not really novel, this is adapted from the "Elephant Walk" restaurant in Berkeley -- I really love it.

Mix cubed raw tuna and cubed very ripe avocado (about half of each) together with a sauce made from about 1/2 very high quality fish sauce, 1/2 lime juice, sweetened with some brown sugar and maybe with a little hot pepper (to taste).  You can add some cilantro on top when plating it if you like.  BTW: I like plating it with some height, using about a 2" diameter 2" tall bit of PVC or similar.

I think the Elephant walk you are thinking of is in Boston... not Berkeley.

[An Alabama epiphany: Frank Stitt's newest]

I worked for Frank Stitt @ Bottega and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. He sources out the finest ingredients, and his staff puts a lot of pride and love into every plate that goes out. I am glad to have worked for him and will always practice/adhere to many of the philosophies/techniques I learned there.
