“ An Englishman teaching an American about food is like the blind leading the one-eyed. ”
Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.
~ A. J. Liebling
I can write better than anyone who can write faster and I can write faster than anyone who can write better.
The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.' Sometimes he finds a kind master who gives him a dry stall and an occasional bran mash in the form of a Christmas bonus, sometimes he falls into the hands of a mean owner who drives him in spite of spavins and expects him to live on potato peelings.
The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite. Without this, it is impossible to accumulate, within the allotted span, enough experience of eating to have anything worth setting down.
