Table for Two: If You Could Dine With One Person

Curb Your Enthusiasm's Susie Essman meets her match when she locks forks (or should I say chopsticks) with Vogue's feared and revered food critic Jeffrey Steingarten.

In this episode Susie and Jeff discuss their fantasy dinner dates, Sigmund Freud and Gisele Bündchen, respectively.

Salma Hayek.

I'd like to dine with A.J. Liebling, though I'd probably be so full I'd be throwing up in the bathroom and he'd just be digging into twenty-five oysters on the half-shell after eating a whole steak, a fish, and two small game birds. Still, I'm sure it would be fascinating!

Calvin Trilling - hopefully on a private tour of Chinatown.

I think after years of reading I would want to have dinner with Nora Ephron. I loved Heartburn. I also love rice pudding.

id like to dine with paula wolfert wouldnt you ?

Either Camille Paglia or Amy Sedaris. It would be memorable either way, I'm guessing.

Who could be better than Steingarten. Exhausting. Probably humiliating. But you'd learn more than you could in a year by any other source and your worst fear would be choking from laughing so much. I do hear his wife is quite charming.
On the matter of JS he seems to be giving his best stuff to Men's Vogue now: His Knife Quest in the current issue is one of his best ever in my book. and they've got his amazing Foie Gras piece, which made the Best Food Writing book, online at: http://www.mensvogue.com/food/articles/2006/08/21/foie_gras

Britney Spears, at a crawfish boil. Otherwise, I might be distracted by her bad table manners. This way, we're on a level playing field. :) I love Susie Essman by the way.

Discussion on Giselle, but header says Jessica Simpson ... may want to update ...

Hey Ditmas - that article on foie gras was a great read. Thanks for the link.
