Practically nobody has been poisoned by the food served up on a House grill. Each House committee offers a grill franchies to House entrepreneurs, and whoever wins the franchise runs the thing for the next year or so.

At 20, young Levai got a job with a large Viennese coal company, soon launched his own oil business, and by the mid-1950s owned a string of gas stations in Austria. When the Nazis came in 1938, the young entrepreneur fled to Paris and later to England.
