Le Meilleur Ouvrier (Felix Urbain Dubois)

"Thereare thosewho look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?"



Robert F. Kennedy

  

Veal Prince Orloff,Angels on Horseback, Service à la russe(serving meals in separate courses on individualplates), Savoy Cake with Oranges -- all inventions and innovationsattributable to Félix Urbain Dubois (b. Trets 1818 - d. Nice 1901).


Influential chef, gifted multi-media artist, "out ofthe box" thinker, honest worker.


Watching Gasbagsgassing on all day/all night cable tv (simultaneously tweetingtheir mediocre, irrelevant pronouncements tothe farthest corners of an I-hope-not-too-hostile universe), I wish we had more people like meilleur ouvrier Dubois willing just to dothe work and bring their gifts -- the best of themselves --to their fellow Earthlings.
