Yeah, I know.  Fashion is more hip than ever now and so is food. Martha wears Carolina Herrera.  All the young hip chefs are too cool in the haberdashery department.  Great.

But I was walking up Madison Avenue yesterday looking at the beauty and talent of those who can afford to put it all out there when I came to the Dolce and Gabbana store.

As the Sicilians they are, they didn't beat around the bush.  No sexy men and women smeared with food.  No hip chef acting like he knows how to wear clothing with a modicum of style. Just produce and a dining room table.

I loved it.
