[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I adored his writing style.[/quote]
This was most of it for me. He was an enormously talented writer with an original voice. I found his books and shorter works captivating, and was especially struck by the way he never white-washed anything when describing his somewhat sordid past. [/quote]

I loved his writing.

“Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter-faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn.  To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.  Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It's healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I've worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold.  Oh, I'll accomodate them, I'll rummage around for something to feed them, for a 'vegetarian plate', if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine.” [/quote]
