520    "For The Dairy Restaurant, Ben Katchor retells the history
       of where we choose to eat--a history that starts with the 
       first man allowed to enter a walled garden and encouraged 
       by the garden's owner to enjoy it's fruits.In this 
       brilliant, sui generis book, Ben Katchor illuminates the 
       unique historical confluence of events and ideas that led 
       to the proliferation of the dairy restaurant in New York 
       City. In words and his inimitable drawings, he begins with
       Adam, entering Eden and eating the fruits therein. He 
       examines ancient protocols for offerings to the gods and 
       the kosher milk-meat taboo. He describes the first 
       vegetarian practice, the development of inns offering food
       to travelers, the invention of the restaurant, the rise of
       various food fads, and the intersection between culinary 
       practice and radical politics. Here, too, is an 
       encyclopedic directory of dairy restaurants that once 
       thrived in New York City and its environs, evoked by 
       Katchor's illustrations of classified advertisements, 
       matchbooks, menus, and phone directory listings. And he 
       ends on an elegiac note as he recollects his own 
       experience in one of these unique restaurants just before 
       it disappeared--as have all the dairy restaurants in the 
       New York metropolitan area"--|cProvided by publisher.
