The image is an artistic rendering of a bicycle, where two rolls of masking tape exist as the wheels and one of the rules of masking tape has some tape coming out of it, forming the front fork of the bicycle, and the rest of the bicycle is painted in white on a black background.

When I was young I used to love these magazines from second-tier publishers or for professional specialties because the covers were always fascinating to stare at. Then I'd open them up and the contents were usually bollocks to a little kid who could barely read. Still ended up setting me on my life's path, though.

How was an illustration like this accomplished in 1966? Rulers, ink, and color separations, I presume?
ardgedee pro an hour ago
@owl Somewhat.

There are a couple ways to have done it. How I would have done it is to pencil in the drawing on a board, and trace the red and black squared-off lines on two different acetates (one for black, one for red) using precision-width ruling tape, and draw outlines of the remainder with a ruling pen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and fill them with a brush and ink.

This way there was no original artwork as such, it only existed as a sketch and a couple sheets of plastic with black ink and tape on them. It's how we would have been taught to do it when I was in design school, pre-desktop publishing era.

Now after saying that I've zoomed in on the pic, and it's pretty clearly all drawn by hand and ruler, no tape, on a single board and the printer made their own separations. Which sounds wild to me (way more expensive this way) because the back-cover ad is black-and-white. But who knows what was going on at the time.

Tantuni, "a spicy beef sandwich from the Turkish city of Mersin," learned of and photo snagged here: https://www.leparisien.fr/paris-75... "The unusual cooking surface with its curved center is attracting the attention of passersby on Avenue Simon Bolivar in Paris's 19th arrondissement. The tantuni, the utensil that gives its name to a delicious 'dürüm,' has been causing a sensation among street food enthusiasts for the past few weeks, drawn by the enticing aroma of spices emanating from this Turkish specialty."

Paul Prudhomme Outside Of His Restaurant “K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen”, In New Orleans (1979)

For a period between 1989 and 1990 I was the head chef at a Cajun Creole restaurant (Fat Franks). We did our utmost to produce authentic creole food in a place not exactly known for the cuisine. During that time this man was my guru, I devoured everything on him that I could find from the other side of the globe.

The one issue we had was that at the time Sassafras was illegal in Australia, I believe it can now be imported with a licence, but fortunately a friend of the restaurants owner had smuggled a few jars of Sassafras powder into the country. We kept that stuff in the safe.

I visited New Orleans in 2001, but I had stopped chefing by then and had just graduated Uni as an archaeologist and I barely had enough money for the trip, so much so that when I stood outside his restaurant reading the menu I came to terms with knowing I wouldn't be dining in there this trip. To this day I regret not selling a kidney to do so though.

I miss cooking that food, I also miss eating it. I think I should smash out a gumbo or a jambalaya soon.

Roux or file ... smash out something ASAP. We lived in NOLA for most of the 90s, and dined at K-Paul's many times. It was always amazing. I have 2 more comments to follow ... few people to share them with these days.
BooBounder 2 days ago
We took an Australian (from Drouin, Victoria) to K-Pauls' in the late 90s. On the menu that day was ... Something with Hot Fanny Sauce. Once the hysterical laughter subsided, we may have been the only table that night that got the Australian slang translation of that.
BooBounder 2 days ago
New Year's Day, around midnight in the French Quarter, somewhere around Dauphine and Conti, we saw a guy exit a darkened doorway to a private home. He was carrying a bottle of wine in a brown bag, and seemed to be hurrying as he went diagonally across the street in the direction of Burgundy. Difficulty walking. Very large and round. Trimmed beard. We instantly knew who it was. Or was it? We told that story a few years later to a server at K-Paul's. She was dubious, and replied "Chef don't walk." Since then, we have entertained the low probability that it might have been Dom Deluise.
