Eating a perfectly cooked lobster, like this one here, beautifully prepared by chef David LeFevre of downtown&#8217;s seafood palace The Water Grill, (a wedge of lemon, drawn butter in a porcelain bowl like the hull of a docking ship) is a pleasure in its own right. Even more so when an impossibly polite server pins [...]]]></description>

THE HAZEL-ATLAS GLASS FACTORY
&#160;
For years his father had made fruit jars, ink bottles, jam and pickle jars, Vaseline jars,
blue glass pitchers with the opaque profile of Shirley Temple smiling, forever, bright as tourmaline.
He would come home, sometimes, his boots trailing river mud, his hat bearing the weight of a heaven
so low it felt like the [...]]]></description>

THE MICHELIN INSPECTOR

 

Eats alone in the ten abandoned rooms


of the provincial hotel, the paper stars
&#160;


in his guide cut out and pasted to the tenuous wallpaper


like games his children might play if he could still remember them.
&#160;


The notes in his anonymous book are exact,


coded, hieroglyphs for broken sauces, overdone halibut,
&#160;


ways to escape his life filed [...]]]></description>

BURNING THE LIBRARY

Obedient to the Caliph&#8217;s orders
Amrou walked the length of Alexandria
in a wash of salt
and set about his sad task of destruction.

Book by book he unstacked the library
while the birds went mad overnight
and Amrou&#8217;s feet burned tracks of ash
on the holy ground.  A thousand meteors fell

down around him as the ancient world
was fed in [...]]]></description>

HOW ATLANTIS DISAPPEARED


Under Socrates&#8217; quiet direction
they took down the street signs and the house numbers.
One by one
the city councilmen dissolved

the ink on all the deeds and licenses,
while the mayor personally
destroyed the negatives
of every picture of the town.

Then, citizens, dutifully checking off a list,
erased the floor plan
of every house on every block.
In a single day

I went in search of whole ducks yesterday, as paying exorbitant sums of money to _____ for two prepackaged duck breasts was not my idea of a good time. The aforementioned stores have whole ducks, but they go for about $5/lb. and are more often than not frozen. So I drove to Chinatown, to Peking [...]]]></description>

Intelligentsia Venice opened at noon today.&#160; Shortly before getting on a plane for Columbia, Intelligentsia founder Doug Zell cheerfully answered a few questions.&#160; Thank you, Doug.&#160; Here&#8217;s to a safe and highly caffeinated trip!

Maybe after the &#8220;downturn&#8221; is finally over, this era will come to be remembered not for the fall of AIG and Lehman Brothers, but for the rise of the Twitter food truck.&#160; Kogi was only the beginning, the first in a Darwinian progression, a gradual&#160; hybridization of ethnic food, mobile kitchens, and a cell phone-addicted [...]]]></description>

Does Los Angeles need a new bistro or brasserie?&#160; Mon Dieu, no.&#160; There have been so many of these trendy French eateries opening in the last two years that city planners should issue a moratorium.
