Re “Two wise guys walk into a Burbank bar … “ by Chris Erskine, Aug. 27 issue

Dear Chris Erskine,

I have been a longtime fan of yours, going way back. Always enjoyed reading your happenings.

What I did not enjoy in your Aug. 27, 2026, article was how much you enjoyed eating grilled octopus – the smart, sweet, friendly animal.

I know, I know, cows are nice also.
