The Eat

We're still diggin' through the ever fabulous Esquire Handbook for Hosts hardcover from 1949 (see our previous post about the caricatured celebrity cover art HERE!) And speaking of the art, that's exactly what today's post is all about as well, because the unique, stylized hand of L. J. Allen returns for a perfectly proper look at the clever chapter headings and various other bits of quirky key art scattered throughout the first half of the book. Are you a man with the munchies, as well as one with cravings for drinky-dranks and throwing parties? Okay then, more on the latter in the coming month, but for now let's just focus on The Eat. And please note that the less than stellar quality of the images below were photographed and edited in a not so typical AEET fashion, -- but instead while I was laying in bed after spending 4 hours of my morning in root canal Hell. Yep, this was pretty much a test to see if I could even do it, (instead of waiting a few days until I was feeling better.) I eagerly await your reviews, complaints, and stupid suggestions.
