Marx Hot Bagels Tuna salad (and ingredients for egg salad) 

John Marx, no longer proprietor of this beloved Blue Ash, Cincinnati restaurant, has always been so nice in returning my calls.

A while back, readers wanted to know how to make his tuna and egg salad. 

At the time, John had just sold the restaurant to new owner, Y.Y. Davis and said recipes would stay the same.

Per usual, all he would tell were ingredients: “One has boiled egg and the other tuna, and both have real mayonnaise, carrots, celery, Lawry’s seasoned salt and white pepper”, he said. I say it’s the love that makes his food yummy.

I made a version of Marx’s tuna salad  a fairly long time ago. Here it is.
