SHES ie Dinner for Six Oysters Rockefeller Fishmarket Chowder Shipside Salad Sole Semiramis Tarte au Citron Wine: Maconnais, Macon-Villages, Bouchard Pere et Fils Blaine Wilkinson, General Manager Pierre-Jean Laupies, Executive Chef SHIPSHDE ierre-Jean Laupies, executive chef of the Radisson South Hotel’s P Shipside restaurant, was raised in Nimes, France, where he played in the kitchen long before he worked there. “In my country, cooking is like a religion. I didn’t play with toys, I played witha griddle stove.” That is, until age fourteen when he was apprenticed to the highly reputed Prunier’s of Paris. He then served at London’s Maxim’s, the Savoy, Mayfair's Mirabelle, as cruise chef for a Mediterranean tour bearing six hundred passengers, and in Guadaloupe and the French West Indies, before becoming executive chef for the Rosewood Room in Minneapolis. In April, 1981, he assumed his current position. With this extensive and diverse background, Pierre-Jean is clear about what is his forte in the business: “What I like to do is hotel business. That's what I do best. And what I am most interested in cooking is fish.” It is to the the benefit of Minneapolis diners that Jean-Pierre’s prefer- ence is such, because before his arrival in the city, they did not even recognize the distinction of fresh seafood. “When I came to Min- neapolis seven years ago,” he says, “you couldn’t find fresh fish here at all. ‘People don’t know the difference,’ they told me.” Under his tute- lage, they now do. His appetizer menu offers fresh mussels, oysters, escargot, anda special gravlaks dish. The entrées—all made with fresh ingredients—include such courses as snapper in an Oriental ginger sauce; sole or halibut poached with shallots, wine, and cream; and shrimp ona bed of alfalfa served with a side dish of sweet-sour sauce. The vegetable accompaniments, julienned and cooked al dente, are carefully selected to provide color and texture contrast. Oysters Rockefeller
