Bravissimo, and thanks for posting a recipe. I visited Johnny's, a Soulard area St. Louis bar, on Friday and had a taste of their version of Cioppino that had a fair touch of heat, and an excellent flavor balance. The amply charming young lady tending bar indicated she did not particularly care for it. She did evidence remarkable intuition; my boss and I both ordered the red beans and rice, but she looked me in the eye to ask, "Do you want Tobasco with that?" (How did she know?)
