AND OTHER RANTS

From my early chef culinary journals

And Notes from My Culinary Journals

What the New York Times said ten years ago. Some menus that proves it was always true: delicious simplicity.

Also Schrafft's, Horn & Hardart, Gage & Tollner, and Luchows.

The perfect bun,a Gyro burger, James Beard's hamburger recipe, Stars' Wine Bar menu, andperect fries again.

The 21 Cub, the Gettys, Stars burger and Lafite , the Salt Marinade recipes that made the famous burgers, buttered bread or muffins, and the perfect fries ratio of soft interior and crisp exterior.

“All right, girls and boys,” I said.

The greatest dessert for sweet wine, its Arab origen and recipe, Oysters Rockefeller,more baked oysters, the first famous sandwich and its ties to mistresses.
