I didn't eat or taste it. I don't like avocados or that squishy, green
stuff :-). I tried to ask my wife, Alice, but she couldn't remember
what the crust was. She just said she liked it. She thinks the chicken
was just shredded, not bound with any sauce. I suspect it was probably
seasoned though.

However, she says we're going back Thursday night or at least before the
special ends on Sunday. I will try to get a better intelligence report 
then.
