Thousands of miles away, on a U.S. domestic airliner, another flight attendant strides down the aisle and deposits a tiny tray of what is optimistically described as chicken Kiev. A ragged strip of batter and bone soaked in an indeterminate broth, nested in some wilted greens, alongside a piece of cinder block with red gumdrop icing. A sigh of resignation. "On the short hauls, I never eat anything," says John Downard, vice president of Hoechst Celanese in Charlotte, N.C. "I look at flying as an opportunity for fasting...
...South. Even so, visitors should first sample the native cuisine. That includes such obvious specialties as crunchy fried chicken with livers and other giblets, fork-tender country-fried steak, braised pork chops, fried catfish and black-eyed peas. To these are added local esoterica like potlikker, a bracing broth that results from cooking pork with greens and is best accented with a dash of Tabasco.

Talk about spoiling the broth. Imagine trying to prepare dinner with 199 cooks watching every move.

Though several samples from both processors were bloody, the meat is generally cooked until well done to kill bacteria...
...handsome dining rooms in two 1870 town houses. The most popular spot is the rambling garden with flowers and yellow umbrellas. The moderately priced food has a homemade freshness, with such creations as prettily garnished salads, bright carpaccio of beef, or steamed clams, oysters and mussels in a chive + broth. Moist Dover sole, broiled with bread crumbs, and grilled squab nested on pecan-studded wild rice are fine main courses, and there are outstanding desserts, among them a little box of chocolate wrapped around framboise- moistened chocolate cake...
