Street, Julian. Where Paris Dines. First Edition. 1929. Book is in very good minus; dust jacket is in good minus condition—previous owner’s name written on the flyleaf; jacket has chips to the front cover and spine but shows decently in Mylar with a facsimile underlay.
The New York Times said of the famous gourmand who wrote this book, “The world was Mr. Street’s oyster, and he extracted pearls from it.” Julian Street was an epicurean and a journalist. He once wrote a column reviewing Parisian restaurants. Those reviews are collected into this book, published as the 1920s drew their last breath. He divides the chapters into six great restaurants beyond compare, eighteen distinguished restaurants, etc. This book is uncommon and nearly impossible to find in dust jacket.
“Great chefs are born, not made, and many a great chef—perhaps most of them—has been born humbly and has had to be ‘discovered.’”
--Julian Street
