I remember viewing restaurants back in the early late 1990's on my computer, a Sun workstation we had at the university. If you've never used Sun workstations, they were quite the cat's meow back then - coveted by us in academia and elsewhere. Recipes then were simpler, as the web was a lot slower. Dialup for some, but not for those of us lucky to use the Internet.
But the recipes were quite good then, that is true. Specifically I remember a wonderful tasty recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo on the Epicurious website. If you recall, Epicurious came online in November of 1996! Here is the Archive.org link -> https://web.archive.org/web/19961104042411/http://www.epicurious.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/19961104042411/http://www.epicur...
I have to say, as an aside that isn't Archive.org amazing? What a fun thing it is to browse these old versions of websites. Isn't it fun to look up old sites? I sometimes visit my old personal website from the 2000's just for nostalgia. Ah those were the days weren't they? When you could just host a website anywhere and hand craft it? You can't beat HTML being written by hand.
Anyway, back to the Alfredo. Such a good dish. I still will at least once try it at every new restaurant. Sometimes I will order it again, other times never again. I can remember distinctly a small restaurant in Eugene Oregon where the proprietor would hand make the sauce as you watched. A handful of Parmesan, a chunk of butter, whisking over the gas stove. Oh that was the best. I still dream of it. He was a real character really. He had a young kid working in the kitchen once, and oh that poor kid - he got such dirty looks from the chef who clearly was a perfectionist. Perfectionist of course which meant his Alfredo was the best!
Anyway... Haha I started another paragraph with "Anyway". Funny how one can do such repetition when writing.
Anyway ;), here is a link to the...
Oh. Oh dear. It looks like Archive.org does not have my recipe saved! Well perhaps you will enjoy the simplicity of there original site on November 3, 1996 at https://web.archive.org/web/19961104042411/https://www.epicurious.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/19961104042411/https://www.epicu...
Bon Appétit!
