Okay, people. Either we vastly overestimated your Google skills, or the term barnyard made your eyes glaze over. Either way, yesterday’s Appetite City trivia question, “What barnyard animal served as table and chair during an infamous 1903 dinner in New York?,” produced a lot of strange answers (sheep? really?), but no correct ones. For what it’s worth, it was a horse.
So let’s give this another shot, shall we? To refresh your memory, you’re vying for a copy of William “Biff” Grimes’s Appetite City: A Culinary History of New York—a chronicle of NYC’s weird and wonderful dining past and the subject of this week’s feature story.
Here we go, folks: You may remember Grimes as the restaurant critic for The New York Times between 1999 and 2004. What does he do for the paper now?
Get your best guess to grimesbook@timeoutny.com posthaste, and bring a little Biff-steak to your bookshelf. Winners must be able to pick up their bounty from TONY HQ.
