...there is a single word to characterize 1987 in the gourmet marketplace, it would be silliness. Mustard came in for a drubbing with a variety of novelty flavorings, and deodorized garlic is in the wings. Dieters still want to eat their cake without having it on their waistlines, and speaking of cake, Texas is exporting cheesecake to New York, the home of the original. Frightened by a shaky market (and perhaps having exhausted their ingenuity), restaurateurs began to think small, and the future of the epic theme eatery is much in doubt.

...fact, the question of what constitutes a truly American icon has become befuddling. A Sohio gasoline station? British Petroleum owns that company now. An Allis-Chalmers farm tractor?

Fisher's is the spot for a just baked soft pretzel that is brushed with melted butter and mustard. At 50 cents, it is frugal enough to satisfy even Ben Franklin...
Rock fans are complaining because a Beatles "classic" will be used to advertise Nike sneakers. But nobody complained when Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite was used in a commercial for cat food or the Brandenburg Concertos advertised German cars and French mustard. My heart bleeds for the Beatles fans who take the commercialization of their heroes' songs so seriously...
