...Kerr's demonstrations is called "Save the Green," a simple technique in which two different dishes can be made from one bunch of broccoli. Another shows a workable method of skinning tomatoes, which he adds to a "simple white sauce for a fish filet, making an economical and nutritious dish." For kitchen weepers, he presents a way of cutting onions without expending a tear. Some forthcoming Graham goodies include a curdle cure for hollandaise and a technique for cutting hamburger shrinkage by folding an ice cube frozen with soy sauce into the middle of a patty.

Classic restaurants are blooming around such nostalgic themes as old automobiles-for instance, Doug's Body Shop in Detroit, where diners can consume their filet mignon in a 1951 Packard-a building in Buffalo reconstructed from Mark Twain's old home, and an exquisite old Claremont, Calif., high school. There is also a streetcar manufacturing plant in San Francisco that serves only spaghetti dishes; and a reconstructed Colorado-style mining camp called The Chicago Claim Company, where luncheon menus are printed on land-claim certificates, and the decor features outsize mining pans. The place is, literally, a gold...
