...that doesn't mean all dumplings all the time. Inspired by the Italian Slow Food movement, the chefs emphasize flavor, quality and authentic technique. In hugely popular books such as Dialogues of the Tongue and Palate, TV shows and newspaper columns, they aim to reclaim such age-old specialities as golonka (succulent pigs' knuckles stewed in beer) and pierogi (small pastry envelopes filled with meat, cabbage and mushrooms). For a taste of the traditional, try Polska Tradycja - tel: (48 22) 840 09 50 - in downtown Warsaw...

The lowest-rated show of the 1992-93 TV season--and a classic of sketch comedy. The Ben Stiller Show was an attempt to reclaim Saturday Night Live's creaky format for the kids. But it reflected a Gen X ambivalence about youth culture as a marketing concept, as in "The Grungies," a sketch about a Seattle grunge band modeled on the prefab '60s act the Monkees.
