[Cz-L]Happy Holidays to my Czernowitz friends

<x-charset windows-1255>In a personal e-mail message addressed to David Glynn, I mentioned another
Czernowitz restaurant, the Weschler Grill. Upon this, David asked me to
write about it to all of you, maybe someone has heard of it...
Anyway, the Weschler Restaurant was on the corner of the Herrengasse and Dr.
Rothgasse, just opposite the famous Cafe L'Europe.

Mr. Weschler was the owner and the manager of this restaurant, his son,
Armin Weschler went to school with me and appears on all the school photos
which I sent to you.

The place had a decided rumanian flavor, considering that rumanian carnatzi
and steak and mixed grill are items famous all over the world. I still
remember vividly the enticing smell of freshly grilled meat which we
encountered already on the few stairs which we had to walk down in order to
get to the restaurant itself.

It was not a place geared to "elegance" but it had a definite atmosphere of
friendliness, homeliness, it gave one the feeling of being with "family".
The food was simply delicious, after visiting so many restaurants on three
different continents, I really have never tasted a steak like the ones we
got at Weschler's.

I met Armin Weschler here in Haifa after many, many years. He has a lovely
French wife, Rosette, who has all the charm only a French woman can have,
including the attractive accent. They have grown-up children.

In the course of the last years and due to my husband's illness and further
tragedies in my life, I have lost contact with them, but now remembering, I
will try to call them up, maybe they will want to join the Czernowitz club.

I do remember that I asked Armin:
"You had all that wonderful food, why were you always so terribly thin, you
looked like an undernourished Biafra child ?"
-"I had a cat that I loved, he replied, and I passed on to it all the food
that my mother gave me!"
Oh, well!
Have a nice holiday, Lucca
