About this title: Ludwig Bemelmans on one of his favorite subjects: la bonne table. His comments on the art of dining well, his memories of the great hotels of Europe and America (along with their memorable dishes and eccentric chefs), his own brief career in the restaurant business, and his delightful illustrations add up to a feast of reading from one of the great humorists.

"By our friend, Ludwig Bemelmans, the author of Madeline! Much like my previously highly recommend New Yorker Guide to Food and Drink, it makes one wish highly regarded french restaurants were as frequent to be found as Applebee's around here. This particular collection is a little too generous in inclusion, but you can usually figure out which ones to skip."
"You know those books that are like your favorite comfort food, or most beloved stuffed animal? This is my comfort read. I've owned a copy for 20+ years, and must have read it 20+ times."
