Before Zagat's, there was Where to Dine in '39, A Guide, with 200 Recipes by Famous Chefs, by Diana Ashley, cover by Peter Arno, 1939. This book was published when an expensive meal in the city was considered to be “at least $2.00.” It is arranged alphabetically and includes a brief description of each establishment, followed by a recipe for one of the restaurant’s signature dishes. Eateries profiled include the Astor Roof, El Morocco, Bill’s Gay Nineties, the Hotel Algonquin, Luchow’s, the Cotton Club, and the Russian Tea Room.

New England lobster rolls are fairly new on the scene, at least relative to other classic regional foods. Perry’s in Milford, Connecticut, is credited with the invention of hot buttered lobster on a bun, c. 1929. Before that, there was the cold, mayo-dressed dish known as lobster salad, but as any New Englander knows, the bun’s the thing. Ideally, it’s split-top and griddled until buttery and browned. And hot dog buns are definitely a 20th-century invention.
So it’s taken fewer than 100 years for lobster rolls to become the ultimate New England summer dish, the it-isn’t-vacation-until-I-have-it standard-bearer. And wherever your travels take you in our region this summer, we’ve got you covered with our favorite New England lobster rolls in all six states.

The thing I most love about 'The Hitchhiker's Guide' series of books is that every so often it'll break off from it's comedy sci-fi adventureness and propose something completely horrifying like "so what if there was a cruise ship, entirely piloted by robots, that has been stuck on a wasteland planet for 900 years and is keeping it's passengers in suspended animation against their will because it's missing a small amount of stock so by it's programming 'can't take off until then' and so it simply wakes the passengers up once every year for coffee and biscuits whilst they scream and claw at their restraints growing slowly older and older?'
And I go, well gee that's very fucked up thanks.

The manual for the sophisticated Manhattan gent: where to take anyone to dinner. It may not look like anything special today, but in 1934, the U.S. (and even New York) was a strictly meat and potatoes kind of place, where fine dining meant turkey. Swedish food! Chinese! Japanese! Armenian! Only in New York.

Side Dishes in Korea
Why do we get served so many each meal? 
1. Background Information 
Tumblr media
One of the most appealing things about eating out in Korea is the unlimited free refill on the side dishes, known as banchan. 
This practice is deeply rooted in Korean history and character as a nation 
2. Kimchi 
Tumblr media
There are hundreds of different types of kimchi, but the signature cabbage banchan is offered at pretty much every restaurant. 
Koreans have for generations been storing vegetables in pots to ferment so that they will have food available for the winter. 
3. Common Banchans 
Tumblr media
Other than kimchi, there are bean sprouts, cucumber vegetables, and sesame leaves pickled in soy sauce. 
Some of the more luxurious Korean restaurant sever egg rolls, tteokbooki, and ganjang gejang. 
4. Banchans At Restaurant 
Tumblr media
Eating at a Korean restaurant is always an exercise in how to maneuver all the dishes to actually fit on the table. 
It is not uncommon to receive 3 or more different banchan dishes alongside the main course that you order. 
5. Homemade Banchans 
Tumblr media
During a kimchi-preparation event called kimjang, a large amout of kimchi is laid out for all members of the family work on. 
This practice is less common these days, but parents still like to prepare kimchi and distribute it to their children as a show of affection. 
6. Why Are Banchan Unlimited? 
Tumblr media
One reason is that white rice was much more expensive than kimchi and banchan during difficult times in the Korean economy. 
It was too expensive for restaurants to give refills of rice, but in order to make sure you were full, they offered you a second helping of banchan. 
7. How Is Banchan Served? 
Tumblr media
In order to reduce operating costs, some restaurants have suggested limiting or removing the unlimited banchan options, which many Korean people weren’t happy about. 
To meet in the middle, many Korean restaurants these days have adopted a self-service system in which you can eat as much as you like, but you have to approach the food station and fill your own bowls.
