"The food is fabricated from fish heads and boiled newspapers, and listed on the bill of fare under names that make Oriental visitors snicker."

This guy was hilarious! :lol: So many gems in such a short article

EDIT - Lucius Beebe, 1902-1966 American author, gourmand, bon vivant.
Beebe was known for his numerous pranks. One of his more outrageous stunts included an attempt at festooning J. P. Morgan's yacht with toilet paper from a chartered airplane. His pranks were not without consequence and he proudly noted that he had the sole distinction of having been expelled from both Harvard and Yale
A noted boulevardier, Beebe had an impressive and baroque wardrobe. Columnist Walter Winchell referred to Beebe and his wardrobe as "Luscious Lucius."

The above fish head quote is listed in Wikipedia along with this fine bit of advice
"If anything is worth doing it's worth doing in style, and on your own terms, and nobody's Goddamned else's!"
