If I were to tell such a story, it would be about sopas — a Portuguese breakfast dish that consisted of hot, milky coffee and broken-up Saloon Pilot Crackers. It was my Grandpa John Duarte's favorite, and he used to slurp it with gusto!

La Mer holiday treat is for a good cause
 |
Chef Yves Garnier of the restaurant at the Halekulani has designed a menu that begins with sautéed foie gras, moves though a rare experience of abalone, an entrée of crispy-skinned moi, potatoes dressed with escargot and a black-rice risotto with langoustines, and finally a cheese course and special dessert, plus a taste of Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac. It's $150 per person and available only for tables of two or more through Dec. 30.
In 2002, La Mer served more than 500 Remy Martin dinners; it was among 75 participating restaurants.
