The Ultimate Lark: In Search of Epicurean Adventure

Jim Lark opened his restaurant in June of 1981. The Lark prospered so admirably that within 2 years it was voted best in the Detroit metro area. The Lark won national recognition with its 11th place position in the 1994 Conde Nast Traveler Readers' poll. But it took only one year to rise to the coveted top spot. This book is a delightful ramble around the world with a man who loves adventure, food and wine, and has made it his life's work to seek out the best the world has to offer. It is replete with recipes, wisdom and amusing anecdotes. And it comes with recommendations for aperitifs as well as where to find some of those quaint little eateries in the remote corners of the globe.
