...recent visit, a $22.50 slice of red, utensil-repellent beef purported to be a medium well-done filet mignon. A paltry serving of sickly-looking lamb chops masqueraded as a rack of lamb (quote pretentious name from menu). A selection of fish dishes were uniformly dry and disappointing. A side order of hollandaise sauce could have come from your grocer's freezer. A self-professed lobster bisque was decidedly lean on the lobster...

Veal surpassed beef as the most popular entree selection, but the old American stand-by was to appear in a few new guises. Filet mignon stuffed with lobster, a classy variation on surf and turf, was created by Columbia Catering for several clients.

The 32-song cycle won accolades from the audience as well as Getty himself, who called it his "biggest moment yet as a composer." The whole event set him back a reported...
Hunger, for example. If $6 will buy a decal of a flowerpot to make a gutted tenement look cheerily affluent, it could just as well buy a decal of a large filet mignon, surrounded by heaps of buttered carrots and peas and mashed potatoes. If that seems too indulgent, perhaps simply a decal of a steaming pot of stew. That should enable quite a few families to imagine themselves well...
