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.

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.
