[Christine Bender]: We're calling it our Gala Premiere Night. It starts at 7 p.m. on July 26. We'll have a variety of tapas provided by the Basque market and drinks. We'll have singers, and a cantor who will recite three ancient Basque whaling prayers. We'll have musicians that will be playing throughout the evening off and on, and we're going to have our curator, director and two of our artisans, and me as the emcee, dressed in period clothing. We'll give guided tours. And I'm very excited about this: We're going to light a 16th century whale-oil lamp with real whale oil; just a little, tiny bit that was brought from an [East Coast] Inuit hunt of a bull whale ... we're going to light and demonstrate how it was used. We're very excited. The funds raised will either go for operating expe...

Villagdoniga's cross-country culinary adventure may seem like a light-hearted, feet-good attempt to shine the limelight on obscure American food, but the teacher's underlying hope is that his travels and his blog will not only raise awareness of large-scale changes in our eating habits and inspire us to re-create a market for endangered foods that were once popular, but will also bring to the forefront more complex battles. For example, says [Richard Villadoniga], the economy of the small coastal town of Apalachicola, Fla. relies heavily on oysters, a food that's become endangered ae metropolitan population growth in Atlanta pits itself against nature. In recent years, as water is diverted north to Atlanta, fresh water flows have introduced higher saline levels in the water, killing the...

Chalet Basque is a throwback; to Marin's old-guard restaurants. In the early '60s, it did a land-office business due to the combination of a hearty Basque menu and spacious, well-stocked bar. Now, years have gone by and many dining trends have shifted, but the restaurant remains the same. There's no attempt to be chic, hip or cutting-edge. New ownership, after taking over five years ago, clearly opted to maintain the status quo. And, just as clearly, that's fine with the restaurant's regulars. They were well in evidence on a hot afternoon, a good number of them chatting amiably in French with owner Roger Minhondo, a jovial man with a welcoming, expansive personality.
Speaking of "typical," the restaurant is a popular gathering place for Marin's Basque population. That explains th...
