...nibbling lighter foods. But on Executive Boulevard, that perception is a few degrees and a few thousand calories low of the mark. Here the recipe for success is decidedly heavyweight: 140 lbs. of chocolate, 100 lbs. of milk, a bottle of kirsch, eight cooks and one world-famous pastry chef.

More sophisticated and restrained is the Hedgerose Heights Inn, where the chef-partner, Heinz Schwab, executes stylish versions of his native Swiss dishes, along with delicate nouvelle inventions. His most celebrated dishes: his version of the Russian meat-filled turnovers, known as piroshki, which he nestles on an herbaceous bearnaise sauce; roast breast of pheasant with Swiss chard and a mellow stew of apples and pears; and roseate medallions of venison with wild mushrooms and a cream-lightened game sauce.

He keeps a store of spice packets from fast- food stands and collects money from...
...Warhol's stash of 152 cookie jars, mass-produced pottery from the 1930s and '40s in cutesy animal and cartoon motifs. At one point, two Manhattan businessmen faced off over two cookie jars and a pair of salt and pepper shakers in the form of a black chef and his wife. The final bid: $23,100 for a lot whose value Sotheby's had estimated at $100 to $150. "Spiritually, they are just wonderful," gushed Maria Olivia Judelson, wife of the victor.
