From The Voice of Broadway by Dorothy Kilgallen:
Not often is the temperament of a Broadway star pitted against the temperament of a restaurant chef (and a good thing, too!) but it happened when “The Honeys” came to New York and Leone’s was chosen to furnish a freshly cooked leg of lamb for every performance of the Roald Dahl comedy. The lamb has to be eaten on stage in full view of the audience, so it can’t be faked.
The trouble—for the first couple of performances—was that Leone’s chef, like all good cooks, used a touch of garlic in his lamb, but Jessica Tandy couldn’t abide it and almost choked as she forced it down.
Jessica won. Now the chef, trembling with disgust, does one leg of lamb every day WITHOUT garlic.
