...the Waiters Carried Themselves With A Quiet

My Father Was In Real Estate, Banking, And Land Management. As Family Life, It Was Very Conventional, Happy, And Comfortable. We Weren't Wealthy, But We Were Well-off.

In The 1970s We Got Nouvelle Cuisine, In Which A Lot Of The Old Rules Were Kicked Over. And Then We Had Cuisine Minceur, Which People Mixed Up With Nouvelle Cuisine But Was Actually Fancy Diet Cooking.

The Tomato Hides Its Griefs. Internal Damage Is Hard To Spot.

I Was 32 When I Started Cooking; Up Until Then, I Just Ate.

...the Waiters Carried Themselves With A Quiet Joy, As If Their Entire Mission In Life Was To Make Their Customers Feel Comfortable And Well Tended.
