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.
