21 July 1901, New York Times, pg. SM19:
Observe how I take this point of the blade and extract the eyes and bad
spots in the potato, without haste, waste, or trouble! Now I take this end of  the
cutter and slice, and there you have the cubes or rectangles I would say for
the famous French fry. Now I slice with this edge, and you have the
world-renowned Saratoga chip. Now I slice with this, and you have the humble but
popular German fry.

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC:
WHERE DID BARRY POPIK EAT DINNER?--Joy Indian Restaurant, 301 Flatbush
Avenue. I wanted to try Franny's, allegedly the best pizza in New York. There  was
no name on the place. A small sign said it was closed December 24-January  10.
Joy is standard Indian. I walked back home over the Brooklyn Bridge.

Happy new year everyone. Last year was pretty miserable and thankless. It
started with the Big Apple whores. It ended with me begging the Chicago Tribune
ombudsman to correct something that I never said, and to get credit for my
work  that was used. 2005 and the future will surely be even  worse.
