...Millau consistently name names. If commenting on Maxim's, they avoid such coy evasions as "a well-known restaurant on the Rue Royale." As a result, they sometimes face the fury of advertisers and libel suits. Of one establishment they recently wrote: "The fish soup was watery, the lobster brochette insipid . . . Only the maitre d'hôtel had a smile on his face." The offending Marseille restaurant-appropriately named Le New York -lost not only customers but the libel suit as well.

They represent the entire stock of foods processed by Bon Vivant Soups Inc., which were seized by the Food and Drug Administration two years ago after a botulism-tainted Bon Vivant vichyssoise killed a New York banker...
