Last February, the College proved it was thinking along the right track with its decision to re-invoke dining hall options for faculty members. Meals are an opportune chance for students to interact with their professors. Lunches and dinners are conducive to conversation especially because they are removed from anonymous lecture halls and intimidating faculty offices and placed in more familiar student turf. Unfortunately, however, the plan has only received meager attention and even more scanty application; during the plan's first month, only eleven faculty members took advantage of the opportunity to dine with their students. Of course...
...proposed forming the club, a teacher of Italian descent, was denied admission. Sort of. Another story tells how a man who ate with his toes created the club. Not quite. In fact, a group of young artists and like-minded Gilded Age Bostonian gentlemen would often meet together to dine at some of the restaurants in the Park Street area. One day a troup of vaudville freaks shoved their way through the entrance of the restaurant and demanded service. The “armless wonder” ate from his plate with his toes. The founding Taverners were appalled...

And some men--probably hundreds of thousands, if you extrapolate from small surveys--say they have passed up job and even romantic opportunities because they refuse to disrupt workouts or dine on restaurant food. In other words, an increasing number of men would rather look brawny for their girlfriends than have sex with them...
...Napa depot, with an art show and a complimentary wine-tasting seminar. Then you climb onboard for the feast. As the train rolls at a peaceful pace past 27 wineries and manicured vineyards, passengers can sip local Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignons, Pinot Noirs or other premium varietals as they dine in luxuriously refurbished Pullman cars, vintage 1915-70. Executive chef Patrick Finney's menu may include filet mignon marinated in red wine and herbs and served with Cabernet-Roquefort sauce. Those who are into food as much as wine are invited by Chef Finney to stroll down to the mahogany-paneled...
