ELV’s Thought for the Day
A man’s dinner is to himself so important that he cannot bring himself to believe that it is a matter utterly indifferent to anyone else. – Anthony Trollope
ELV’s Thought for the Day
I’m not as fat as I could be nor as thin as I should be. – Elmer Dills*

* When ELV was beginning his second career as a food writer in the early ’90s, he called and wrote a number of restaurant critics to get some tips on practicing the craft. Dills was one of the few who returned his call. (Alan Richman and John Mariani were the others.) He couldn’t have been more gracious and helpful, and it was during that conversation that he spoke the above words to us. R.I.P. Elmer Dills.
