By the late 19th century, New York City was the second "PINNACLE" of the culinary arts. These recipes originated in one of the Restaurants (located on 28th Street, between Fifth Avenue and Madison) that catered to Broadways elite and noted personalities of the day.
The restaurant catered special meals to such celebrities as Lillian Russell accompanied by J. B. "Diamond Jim" Brady, Thomas Edison, Tony Pastor, Marshall Field, Adolphus "Anheiser - Budweiser" Busch, Victor Herbert, and Sam Schubert. You could catch Billy Pollard doing a Scottish dance, hear Dora Pelliter sing her "Gilded Age" melodies. Political visitors included Mayor Hugh Grant and Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt.
In the 1890's, everyone ate where "Diamond Jim" Brady and Lillian Russell ate.
Diamond Jim Brady was a main attraction because of his constant companion Lillian Russell and the sheer volume of food he would ingest. She would eat like a "bird" and he like an "elephant". Truthfully, he could only eat the equivalent of 8 people at each sitting. His favorite supper sometimes required pre-preparation a day in advance and consisted of an appetizer of three dozen raw Maryland oysters (Privately, he frequently joked about the positive effect they had on him), six breaded soft-shell crabs (if in season), and a pot of Roasted Chicken or Fish soup. His main course consisted of two whole ducks; six or seven broiled lobsters with corn muffin/crabmeat stuffing, a Standing Prime Rib Roast or Baked Ham, and various side dishes. For dessert, the gourmand enjoyed pastries and an occasional cake or two. He frequented this off-Broadway Restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed his special meals. Special meals were created for him and named (Diamond Jim Style) on the menu.
One of the Famous Personalities to eat at this Restaurant was our future 26th President Theodore Roosevelt.
Occasionally dishes were created or reproduced for other important guests. One was Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, who later became the Governor of New York State and 26th President of the United States. One of his favorite dishes was "Baked Corned Beef".
