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.
