Notes:
"Jewish Encounters is a collaboration between Schocken and Nextbook, a project devoted to the promotion of Jewish literature, culture, and ideas." --
Summary:
"Ben Katchor [creator and author of "Julius Knipl, real estate photographer," a weekly comic strip appearing in newspapers across the USA] retells the history of where we choose to eat -- a history that starts with the first man who was allowed to enter a walled garden and encouraged by the garden's owner to enjoy its fruits. He examines the biblical milk-and-meat taboo, the first vegetarian practices, and the invention of the
restaurant
. Through text and drawings, Katchor illuminates the historical confluence of events and ideas that led to the development of a "milekdike (
dairy
) personality" and the proliferation of
dairy
restaurants in America, and he recollects his own experiences in many of these iconic restaurants just before they disappeared."--Back cover.
