...tour conducted by a giant mechanical Twitty Bird. (Just down the road is Johnny Cash's House of Cash, a museum that is proud to display Al Capone's favorite chair.) The next day you'll tool eastward to Dollywood, "the friendliest town in the Smokies," where you can roast pigs over an open hearth, munch on buffalo- burgers and take a mountain trek on a 90-ton steam train. If you're in luck, Dolly will be there...
...diverse a culinary discipline. Passions run high in defense of personal favorites and the proper way to make them: Should the bread that holds tuna salad be white or rye, plain or toasted? Is mayonnaise, Russian dressing, butter or mustard the correct spread for ham or turkey or roast beef? Does lettuce have any place at all in a sandwich of sliced meat, and if so, should the lettuce ever be iceberg? The Easterner regards the California predilection for mayonnaise on hamburgers as strictly an aberration, and to true New Yorkers who order street-corner hot dogs with sauerkraut...
...slightly firmer in texture than corn-fed beef but exuded a quintessential beefy flavor that was a more than adequate reward for a little extra chewing. The porterhouse and sirloin steaks pan-grilled in an iron skillet would have done credit to any first-class steak house.

His beefalo was indeed juicier and more tender than the Chenango meat, which comes from cattle that graze on grass and are given spring water and supplements of mineral blocks and hay. A small roast purchased from Healey's was slightly dry, even though it was cooked at 300 degrees F, as suggested; stew meat needed much more seasoning than conventional beef would have. Chenango beefalo was a shade less satisfactory in all categories. Beefalo prices match those of prime beef...
...gilded chair with the ridiculous plugged-in halo was enough to make Walter Cronkite visibly uncomfortable. And with good reason. In Washington last week some 300 diners had come not to honor but to baste him. America's favorite former anchorman had agreed to the $1,000-a-plate roast to raise funds for the newly created Cronkite Regents Chair in Communication at the University of Texas, Austin. Trouble was that try as they might, such luminaries as Dick Cavett, CBS's Andy Rooney and Beverly Sills could barely generate enough heat to toast, much less broil, kindly Uncle Walter...
