Anonymous said...: Question from Eric:

Can anyone tell us why the server is using his hand instead of tongs to serve the food? I have some movie footage of the Cole show from the late 1940s and their cookhouse used this same technique to serve food. Just curious.; 22 October, 2006 12:19

That mans hands were cleaner than any tongs that had been god only know where. Hands don't get droped on the ground. These were the good old days. Healthy ones too.; 22 October, 2006 18:33
