Long before Lucullus immortaIized him
self by RECALLING the jeunesse doree OF Rome
with his hundred thousand dollar dinners his
prototypes were indulging in the same pleas
ures on q similar scale in Pekin and FoolS-
Chow, for gastronomy has been among the
fine arts in China almost from the beginning
of Chinese history. The Chinese chef has an
official status of at least forty centuries du-
ration. Twothousand years before the Chris
tian era he was esteemed as highly and paid
as literally as he is today, and now he is ex-
ceedingly well paid.
For example, the chef in a restaurant in
Mott street came to New York from San
Francisco under contract by which he re-
ceives 500 a month, besides his board and
lodging, for his services All things consid-
cred, this salary is fully equivalent TO the
50, 700 a year paid to such chefs as preside in
the kitchens of the Hoffman house, belmont
cos, the Union League club and the Wander
bilt mansion. The Monaghan chef, to judge
v.
ny Lee-An VINO - the uistinguisneu Individual
mentioned is curiously like his Caucasian
colleague in that he is dignifed, egotistical,
petulant and thoroughly independent I'M
like the Caucasian, however, the great man
of the Chinese kitchen believes in working
himself at the simplest tasks in order to keep
himself in practice
