Book by Vincent Sardi, Sr. with Richard Gehman.
Sardi’s: The Story of a Famous Restaurant (Henry Holt and Co., 1953)
Good. Has 30 recipes, from what I can tell.
We knew Vincent Sardi, Jr. slightly. We had invited him to speak at an event honoring some star - an m.c. role, actually - without knowing that he was completely inarticulate and tongue-tied. The evening was a complete shambles and I’ve repressed who the honoree was, luckily.
But Mr. Sardi was a lovely man despite that who often gave free meals to poor actors.
Oh, the old man wrote that. I wonder if he was a articulate as his son, lol. He would have needed a ghost writer!
