Recently I was craving the Cheese and Onion Pie from Cafe Swiss the long-gone restauran once located t at 450 Rodeo Drive. I used to eat there with my Nana and Papa Warner and always ordered
the same thing. Cafe Swiss originally opened in 1950 and closed in 1985. The beautiful back patio was the scene of many wonderful lunches for me and my grandparents. The continental fare was peppered with some typical Swiss dishes and the Cheese and Onion
pie has remained in my heart (and probably arteries too) forever. Here is the recipe. Enjoy!
