Book Overview
A Gentleman at the Table will give any man the knowledge he needs to maneuver any dining situation - from a casual meal of fried chicken at his mom's house to a seven-course dinner at the finest restaurant in the world. It includes. . . How to set a table How to pronounce more than 100 unusual food names How to use obscure eating utensils How to perform the Heimlich maneuver How to eat more than 25 foods that are challenging to eat gracefully such as lobster, snails, fried chicken, and pasta. In a society where more and more people eat with plastic forks and spoons at fast food restaurants, it is still important that a man know proper dining etiquette. There are still situations where not knowing what a finger bowl is or not knowing how to pronounce an item on a menu can have an effect on what others think of you. Showing he has little working knowledge of table manners at a lunch meeting or on a job interview over dinner may have an important impact on a man's life. Like all the books in the GentleManners series, A Gentleman at the Table is easy to use, non-threatening, and an entertaining read.

Good Info; Covers Many Topics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book covers a number of topics helpful to men and young boys who are learning good manners. Very informative for young men learning the appropriate way to behave and do things in many settings, and not just at the dinner table. The language sounds a bit "fluffy," but the information is concise and detailed.
another essential tome

Once again John Bridges and Bryan Curtis present essential information in both a very useful and charming manner. Very thorough. A must have addition to every gentlemen's collection.
