Went to Martinez, California, once, looking for a Martinez. Came up dry, literally, figuratively. Or, really, figuratively twice over. I have had requests, from certain parties, that I employ commas with greater frequency and across multiple use cases. There is a plaque in Martinez, downtown, by the waterfront, that explains the city’s role in originating the drink that would become the Martini. This is dead history.
