...tremendous amount of logic: there were millions of dollars spent on selling them to you," says Christopher Kimball, editor of Cook's Illustrated and host of PBS's America's Test Kitchen. He explains that America inherited the big Victorian British-Irish breakfast of bread, eggs and pork (probably because it could be cured and stored). Cereals were added at the turn of the century thanks to the Kellogg brothers. Doughnuts sneaked in after they were paired with coffee as an afternoon treat for World War I soldiers. In the South, buttery biscuits have long been served with gravy...
Unfortunately, the dead zone isn't simply an environmental failure, but also a consequence of our national agricultural policy, which subsidizes farmers to grow vast, heavily fertilized quantities of corn and other grains. The pork-laden farm bill, which recently passed Congress over President George W. Bush's veto, will only worsen the problem. And even if we can begin to reduce the future flow of fertilizer, repeated dead zones are having a cumulative effect, with smaller amounts of nitrates and other chemicals in the Gulf having a larger hypoxic impact than in the past.

...menu follows, according to founder Jonathan Chan, "the new American mantra." That's gastro-speak for an emphasis on fresh and organically grown ingredients, which is, in turn, often a euphemism for dull - though not in Mimolette's case. Excellent and comforting dinners - think pan-roasted quail, or Yorkshire pork rack - are served nightly except Mondays. But Mimolette really comes into its own at Sunday brunch, when its uncluttered dining room is filled with a buttery light. Feast on crepes, soufflés, eggs benedict, cod-brandade omelette, corned-beef hash and all the rest. Naturally, the last thing...
