Feasting Never Stops

The Big Kitchen

"There's nothing about this that isn't awesome- the giant letter stations (I had to sit through an hour of a New School
panel discussion about Joe Baum to learn they were called stations), the Memphis-y looking "fountain" station,
the "Kitchen" typeface, the track lighting, the Market Bar and Dining Rooms type, the Food Market and Raw Bar menu, the aprons, etc...
This was a really great place brought to life by two major talents. I love that Joe Baum was this fantastic restaurant
guy who loved design and Milton Glaser was (is) the preeminent Graphic Designer who loves all things food.
The perfect pairing."

La Cucina Futurista

A mock aircraft, ozonizers, the monotony of Paradise, Italian Breasts in the Sunshine and Tactile Dinners.

“The fascination, the childlike elegance, the innocence, the dawn, the shame, the abyss of sex, the rain of madness and false sentiment, the impulse of rebellion against former servitude, one and all found here.”

Full Of Good Cheer

"By the mid-1950s, it became clear that the flat top would beat out the cone top for market dominance.
This is largely because flat tops filled faster (and, therefore, provided for better economies of scale) and stacked easier (which was good for transporting them and good for storing them in stores and in consumer refrigerators)."
