Known for its ever-changing menu, casual atmosphere, and great—if bizarre—jukebox selections, this celebrated little restaurant now has a cookbook that lets music take the stage along with
the food. More than a passing nod is given to the many musicians that have passed through the restaurant's doors and their 45-rpm records that make up the ever-changing selections on the
tabletop jukeboxes, but for foodies the recipes are main event. The restaurant strives for food that is both simple and exotic, and brunch favorites built on that principle include Millie’s
signature open-faced omelets—Devil's Mess, Cajun Mess, and Castro's Mess—as well as recipes for crab and cheese enchiladas and lobster-scrambled eggs with puff pastry and chive-cheese
sauce. Legendary appetizers to create at home include Spanish-style calamari and fried green tomatoes with a sauce of goat cheese and mandarin oranges, and the secret ingredients are
revealed for some of Millie’s ever-popular main dishes such as mango-glazed pork spareribs and Thai spicy shrimp. The recipes have all been tested in a home kitchen and include
photographs for each step of the preparation and the final plates.
