...indisputably French decor and air of luxury, what Le Pavilion's customers most appreciated was the food, which was classic French cooking. There was no tampering with recipes, as there was no single specialty. For Soule, everything was a specialty, from tasty crabmeat timbale with its light sauce, to the roast duck with peaches, through the tender, flaky strawberry tart.

...with DDT to rid them of their native gnats, mosquitoes, ants and chiggers. George Washington's white-pillared manor house was equipped with electric lights for the first time in its history. White House Chef René Verdon presided proudly over Army field kitchens that served avocado and crabmeat mimosa, poulet chasseur avec couronne de riz clamart (hunter-style chicken with rice), framboises à la crème Chantilly and petits jours secs.

Next, Lopatkin's wife admired the restaurant chandelier, and Lopatkin sent it home. Before long, Lopatkin had outfitted his dacha with restaurant furnishings from teapots to carpets...
Seated at a table under a large picture of Marshal Klimenti Voroshilov, the ensign heroically ate his way through an eight-course meal (including caviar, crabmeat, mushrooms, capers and sturgeon), rose repeatedly to respond to vodka toasts. Three hours after he had arrived, he retrieved his cap with dignity from under a picture of Stalin and walked firmly down the gangway, carrying himself like a piece of priceless porcelain and bearing farewell gifts of caviar and whale's teeth. "Don't bother our distinguished guest," said genial Host Solianik to pier-side reporters. "He's still enjoying...
