Compared to the gloomy atmosphere of the star-less Golden Globes night earlier in the week, Park City was pretty perky at the prospect of Hollywood returning to business. "We're excited," said Mark Burton, president of production for independent film studio and financier IndieVest, before carving into his veal shank at one of the festival's hotter tickets, a ChefDance dinner at Harry O's nightclub. "There's something on the table. The writers are gonna have to have really strong reasons to turn this down." A film buyer sipping champagne at the bar expressed hope that the prospect...
...fibers, but for how long? Experts disagree, sometimes violently. With all due respect to Zaldúa, two weeks is not enough for full-on flavor. Nor does youth yield tenderness. After encountering a steak at Etxebarri in Axpe from an old retired dairy cow as tender as a veal calf and infinitely more flavorful, I was also ready to challenge the received wisdom that animals older than 30 months are too tough to eat. In fact, age in both respects may be the secret to the übersteak. To find out, I'd have to go to El Capricho...
Dinner-party diplomacy didn't suit George Washington's palate. While the food was good--"roast beef, veal, turkey, ducks, fowls, jams, etc.; puddings, jellies, oranges, apples, nuts, almonds, figs, raisins, and a variety of wines and punch," recorded one guest--the host often sat in complete silence.

When the first Congress reached an impasse over two issues--where to locate the permanent capital city and how to pay off the Revolutionary War debt--Thomas Jefferson asked Alexander Hamilton and James Madison to share...
...busy, bubbling kitchen, the young Scottish chef-patron Dan Hall brews up the magic that lifts the Casablanca well beyond a haunt for expats with creative pretensions to a place of pilgrimage for true foodies. A dish like slow-roasted fillet of Wagyu beef with roasted veal sweetbreads, caramelized carrot purée and a sherry vinegar gastrique may be a mouthful to order, but every bite confirms the brilliance of its conception. Plainer fare such as wild mushroom arancini with leek purée, white asparagus emulsion and cep vinaigrette showcase the intense flavors of locally grown vegetables. Hall...
...says Singer, noting that the European Union has banned narrow crates for sows and veal calves. "A lot of people who eat meat would like to feel that the animals had a good life before they were killed." Once the Arizona initiative passes, he adds, "then the movement will roll on." The eventual goal of animal activists? Federal legislation banning cruelty to farm animals. Already, a bill has been introduced in Congress requiring that producers who sell food to the federal government must meet a basic set of humane standards, such as adequate space, adequate food, and adequate veterinary care...
