U.S. Restaurants Best Declares Roving Reporter By ROBERT MUSEL United Press International New York -UPD- As a man who has eaten chicken pili- pili in the Belgian Congo, fish and chips in London, shashlik a la Russe in Moscow and breast of guinea hen under glass in Paris, may I make a gastronomic statement? The best all-round restau rant food in the world is in the United States-especially New York. Every now and then, this fact has to be hauled out from our national inferiority com plex on matters of taste and culture. For a people who are rightly proud of ourselves in many -ways, we insist year after year in accepting hum bly the fiction that only Eu ropeans are great restaura teurs. I have just tooled my way through some better restau rants in New York for a re . fresher course in American eating before resuming my roving assignment, in Europe and Africa. The French food I ate was not far off the best food in France. The Italian food was at least as good as that fed me in Rome. I had Japanese food that reminded me of the highly praised restaurant I was tak en to in Tokyoi Jewish Food Good Tel Aviv isn't in the picture with New York when it comes to Jewish food. And, for that matter, Arab cuisine is better here than in the Mideast, with the exception of a few dishes. Before the Francophiles and the Germanophiles begin screaming, I'll admit you might find the best French restaurant in he world in France or the best German eatery in Germany. But the New York equivalent will be right in the same league And neither Paris nor Ber lin (nor any other foreign city) can score as high in every worthwhile national cuisine as can this metropolis. Outside of our ridiculous habit of switching the fork from hand to hand while cutting and eating food (keep it in the left hand all the time, folks) we are the most consistent and adventurous eaters-out in the universe. Hence there is a premium on serving the best. I have seen more provocative ideas in food in the past fortnight (like chicken baked inside a pineapple) than I am likely to run into in years of for eign chomping. Daringly Different Four of us had dinner one night in a comparatively new restaurant, The Forum of the Twelve Caesars, where about one-third the fabulous menu consisted of new variations on the classic French-Italian cui sine. None of us could think offhand of any great Euro pean restaurant where the food would have been so dar ingly different-and so deli cious. I wish our severest critics, the British, would try New York's better eateries. I keep reading in London newspapers about our "taste less" food. Maybe these dis patches are designed to make the average British restaurant-goer feel happier about his razor-thin roast beef, soggy potato chips and browned vegetables. But it isn't true. And we ought to say so-more often and louder. : Oregon May Get GP Chemical Plant Portland "-UPD-A pilot plant to produce chemicals from bark and wood waste is plan ned by Georgia Pacific Cor poration. James L. Buckley, vice-pres ident for research and de velopment, said the plant probably would be built in Oregon. He said it would "de velop an important family of chemicals from bark and wood waste that previously had no use at all." Board Chairman O. R. Cheathman, a Portland visitor this week, added that the firm is considering expansion into Alaska. He said it had a con cession near Juneau which lasted until July of 1961.
