Supporting Randle is a series of cameos that seems like "Who's Who In Hollywood." Quentin Tarantino appears as a sleazy director with the power to give anyone fame. John Turturro, as Girl 6's agent, screams, "Sharon Stone spread her legs for QT." Madonna, a phone sex boss and strip tease club owner, does what she is wont to do--she talks about sex, "No restrictions, no taboos." Naomi Campbell gets in the act as a pot-smoking phone sex operator who wears tight t-shirts bearing slogans like "Models Suck." Kudos to Spike Lee for donning a 1970s...
...leaders of kitchen staffs, not merely cooks who work at their own stations. To suggest a woman as chef even ten years ago would have prompted laughter. Women, went the old calumny, are not creative enough to be chefs. And anyway, how could they lift those hot 60-qt. stockpots? "Very carefully," says Joan Woodhull, 20, a recent graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., where 25% of the 1,850 students are women...
...between meals, the U.S. is in the midst of a popcorn explosion. Since 1972, consumption has soared from 372 million to 611 million lbs. a year, or about 42 qt. per person. From Florida and Texas, where jalapeno popcorn is hot, to the blizzard belt, where maple flavor warms the gullet, new retailers keep popping up across the U.S. There seems to be room for all. For instance, a dozen or more competitors have opened up around the two Garrett Pop Corn Shops in Chicago's Loop; even so, the 33-year-old Garrett's, which sells only...
...steady sales for the ice-cream industry ($1.6 billion in 1979) when sales of all kinds of desserts have dropped off by 40% over the past decade and a half. Ice-cream sales in the U.S. hit a peak in 1975 and since then have declined slightly (from 15.69 qt. per capita last year to 14.62 qt.), but sales of the most expensive and best-tasting brands have been increasing by about 17% a year and now command 11% of the market. Americans produced 829,798,000 gal. of ice cream in all grades last year, and we eat more...
There are other regional differences in the national passion. The steamy South-Central states consume less than half (10.77 qt. per digestive system per year) as much as the hungriest region, which is New England (21.86 qt.). Marketing men in the dairy industry have a suspicion that forthright Southeasterners will not eat what they cannot pronounce. A superpremium sells there under the no-foolin' name of Rich & Creamy...
