[UA] A Movable Feast

[F. A. R.]

A story I found through the Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society
after looking up Tynes' self-mummifying monks:

This Condon-Bleu chef serves illicit and rare cuisine to hideously wealthy
patrons. The article, appropriately enough, is written simply by the New
Times' food critic. He's a good writer, too. The story of his history with
the chef, Kaz, is enough to make the article worthwhile.

The fare begins at saguaro cactus salad and goes through dogs, emperor
penguins, even chimpanzees and more. One photograph captures the
reviewer's dining party draping black cloths over their heads before
eating the ludicrously endangered pygmy owl. It's the ultimate in decadent
dining. Perhaps that's an overstatement; but when you reach page nine of
the article, decide for yourself. (Maybe they should hire the chef for
this one:

don't stop reading until you get to the bit about Brando.

After reading this article, visit the Kircher Society site if you haven't
had enough oddities. You'll be busy for hours.

The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. See the
line from a sufficient distance, and it straightens itself to the average
tendency. Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your
other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing.
