Latke-Hamantasch Debate Becomes Verbal Food Fight

[Fiona Shnapple]

In the exposition, as we meet Maxine, her family, and her "friends"
and associates, get some history, we don't see her eat or use the
toilet, but we see her party like a rock star, in high school,
college, and after her seperation from Horst, she drinks a lot, but as
the Pope sez, who am I to judge, but she  gets smashed, sleeps with
and makes business deals with the men she sleeps with. Like Horst, the
Commodities Trader from Chicago, Joel Weiner, the Real Estate Slum
Lord, and so on, then we see that family food is about take-out food
menus, again, who am I to judge, it's NYC, what people do, but, then
home with the folks and the pastry wars...to the Bagel joint with Reg,
the Flatirion crawls, local fusion food joint with Windust, where she
brings up Leviticus.  The pastry Joint is shut down. March complains
that the Piraeus is history, like so much that we love about our
neighborhoods, gone, packmaned by Duane Reed and Mick Deez. Eating is
a sacred act. Those local joints where you share a Sunday with people
for years. Something worth keeping. Nostalgic? Maybe, but magical too.
