This is true whether you're acting, singing or doing Irish jigs . TV talk show hosts have been particularly at risk, but I assume people like Vicki Lawrence, Chevy Chase and Whoopi Goldberg at least got paid well during their brief gigs. There are some sites that are known not so much for the restaurants they house, but for the spectacle of changing signs and flavors of the month, or year, if they're lucky. One such site is 1269 S. King St., in recent years home to Zacharia's and Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant. Now it's the King Street Bistro, a high-falutin' name for what is basically a coffee and sandwich shop.
Sandwiches are fine and dandy by day, but local style demands hot and heavy entrees for dinner.
This hasn't helped to build an evening clientele. Neither has the precedent set by so many coffee bars of serving crummy sandwiches with withered innards. That is not the case here. The sandwiches are excellent. I find focaccia works all the time.
