_ IT’S a long way from .

Denmark to Greece.

Gastronomically the finer
points can get lost in transit.

Take 1425 Marine Dr., for
example.

It used to house Soren C.
Saffron Bistro,
which was opened in October
1993 by. the.talented Danish
chef as a quality breakfast and
- lunch cafe..A break from the
pressures, of
kitchens. A place of his own. .

He. later pushed the
Saffron i into full-blown dinner
service, Chef Fakstorp just
couldn’t help himself.

Hc is, after all, one of the
city’s finest chefs. Pre-dinner-
bell cookery only presses so
many buttons. Kitchen cre-
ativity really takes off after 6

And create he did.
But"'Fakstorp shut down

"the Saffron in late 1996,

Manning a kitchen is one
thing; owning that kitchen
and the rest of the restaurant is
another. _
