food but the cheapest stuff
that can be turned out at the
highest prices the traffic
would bear.
"There were some places
left that featured the chef
over the comics, but they
were scarce. Most of the
joy-seekers were so blotto by
1 a.m. they couldn't tell a
crepe Suzette from a ham-
burger smothered in onions.
`Good food faded out
of night spots because
there wasn't any real de-
mand for it. But there
were heavy eaters like
Diamond Jim Brady who
wouldn't agree. There
were only a few scattered
places left where the
preparation of food was
still a solemn and mystic
rite.
But in the earlier days, -a
man had vermouth with the
hors d'oeuvres, chablis with
the oysters, sherry with the
soup, sauterne with the fish,
'burgundy with the roast,
champagne with the par-
tridge and brandy with his
coffee.
"People took two or three
hours for dinner. No one
was in a hurry. They would
have thought it silly to fox
trot while the pate de fois
gras waited.
If you looked over an old
menu, you'd see hors d'
oeuvres for 60 cents. There
was a stalk of celery stuffed
with Rocquefort cheese, a
segment of sardine, two
slices of head cheese, half a
boiled egg sprinkled with
caviar and half a baby to-
mato stuffed with spiced
apple and mayonnaise. The
dish cost less_than 20 cents
to provide.
"Lynnhaven oysters,
which wholesaled for a
dime, cost customers 40
cents. The chicken soup a
la Creole was 30 cents a
portion. Fried smelts
Vers.ailles were listed on

the menu for 50 cents in-
cluding the tartar sauce.
It could be written off on
the books for 12 cents. A
$5 dinner was prepared
for no more than $1.25.
"Waiters didn't cost a
penny. Head waiters paid
for their jobs and tray-
carriers were paid $1 a day
and fined $1 a day for
breakage. Chefs earned
$5,000 a year.
"People who stuck up
their noses at eggs with
grated cheese for a quarter
Li little restaurants, were
tickled to lay out a dollar in
the lobster palaces for 'oeufs
a la rein' which are exactly
the same thing.
"People ate in famous res-
taurants and paid high
prices because it was the
thing to do, just as it is to-
day. When good food be-
came scarce in New York, it
was the fault of the custom-
ers who were satisfied with
chop suey and tough steak
sandwiches.
"In some cafes, owners
piled on extra charges for
bread and butter and a
bowl of cracked ice. They
figured when you're in
the job of feeding and
amusing people, you're
expected to sink the
hooks into them. If you
don't, they'll go some-
where else where the
proprietor has less con-
science.
"Customers like to spend,
but they don't want to be-
lieve they're being taken for
a ride.
"People became tired of
eating as a form of
entertainment no matter
how fine the food might be.
And so dinner entertain-
ment was pioneered and
Bight clubs were born.
, "In any club, the book
says, the most important
person is the head waiter.
He's the front man, the con-
tact man and the salesman
for the house. In most of the
modern restaurants, hos-
tesses have replaced head-
waiters and it's not the
same.
"In the old days, if the
head waiter was grumpy
and showed no interest, the
customer was less than
enthusiastic and his money
stayed right down in the
bottom of his pocket. Today,
hostesses may be grumpy or
as charming as Elsa Max-
well, but they seldom get a
tip. It's the waiters and
waitresses who are more
important."
