I have a quibble with the terminology that has lately been used to describe the precursor to CAFAM. The Egg and The Eye was an art GALLERY, not a shop, and a white-tablecloth RESTAURANT, not a cafe. The focus was on respectful, 'fine art'-style display and making sure the artists' names were prominently labeled. The shows were meant to be of museum quality contemporary craft and folk art. The original chef, Rodessa Moore, received several awards for her cooking there. In 1965, omelets were not the ubiquitous menu item they are today, and Rodessa's development of as many as 70 different fillings to reflect international cultures was seen as haute cuisine. The restaurant and gallery were frequented by elites of the art, music and academic world.
