Photo Nosh
 

Menu by David Friend

Alas, the only way to market a business these days is to involve celebrities---or to fool the public into believing that a product or service is, in fact, worthy of celebrity status. To that end, I offer this modest proposal for a franchise of photography-themed restaurants, scheduled to open in the year 2000. Photo-Nosh, a cafe-style restaurant, will reinforce the status of photographers as celebrities by virtue of their having foodstuffs named after them. The proposed menu for Photo-Nosh:
