Kiss the cook
George Steel manages to hold out for 140 words before dropping the inevitable name in this month’s issue of Edible Manhattan.
The Man of Steel continues:
The places that are famous tend not to be good. People are looking for an experience of authenticity and not really using their mouth.
La Cieca should note that he’s probably not talking about NYCO here. But do be sure to check out who was present when George had his first endive salad.
#4: It IS a great pic!
#8: Where is composure and graciousness? Anger does not become you.
By the way…Quanto Painy Fakor:
Just watched a recent Charlie Rose interview, and whose name should he drop but…Zara Leander! Seems she was a poster child for the NAZI cause(is that why you posted a clip of her on the ‘Obama is Hitler’ thread?) HOWEVER…rumor has it that she was a secret agent for the soviets all along. Thats where he got the idea for the Bridget von Hammersmark character in his latest flick.
By ‘he’ I was refering to Mr. Rose’s interviewee, Quentin Tarantino.
George Steel was very close to Leonard Bernstein for years. He was closer to him than I am to any of my uncles. If one of my uncles had a cook — and Steele’s not the only one who raves constantly about that one — would it not be pretentious in a different way to mention her and not mention that she was legendary cook to the most famous musician of his time?
Leonard Bernstein left one of his conducting tail-coats to George Steel because he regarded him as a kind of son. That G.S. should mention him — in this case in a remarkably venial way — is not remarkable.
I assure you that he could have told far more self-aggrandizing stories of L.B.
