how to eat well.
marion nestle posted some of the army’s nutrition guidelines from 1861 on her blog. it sounds like the sage advice of bon vivants rather than any sullen military diet! not much has changed since then (except of course, the invention of junk food). read them here.
“A variety of foods are needed to avoid monotony and increase assimilation.” – Dr. John Ordonaux

Egg creams are totally overrated even if Daniel Humm sends someone to make one for you tableside. I was all, jeez, old-timey Brooklyn, did you not know about milkshakes?
I’d be willing to bet that Chef Humm (Eleven Madison Park)
stole this ideawas inspired by Petey’s egg cream cart at the Michelin party last fall.(And, uh, a milkshake’s a milkshake and an egg cream and an egg cream. Diff’rent strokes yo.)
Nice catch Nora. If you happened not to be at the Michelin party, and you want to sample Pete’s egg creams while twirling on an antique barstool, head on down to the Brooklyn Farmacy, you won’t regret it.
you can't eat bread!?
