Dining After ‘Downton Abbey’: Why British Food Was So Bad For So Long by Maria Godoy

If you’ve ever watched the television show Downton Abbey, you’ve probably deduced that dining was a very, very big deal in the lives of the landed gentry of Edwardian England.

Much of the drama surrounding the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants unfolds against a tableau of the table.

Beaus jostle for the attention of the earl’s eldest daughter while eating elbow to elbow. An engagement is publicly renewed during the evening meal. The butler works himself into an exhausted tizzy trying to keep up appearances without enough footmen to serve dishes in “proper” style.

My photo with Gus from Breaking Bad

I’m so jealous I wish that was real, Sabia.

A close friend from home meets Gus from Breaking Bad in my girlfriend’s office to film an interview with him. How was I not a part of this in any way? So jealous.

So awesome to meet Giancarlo in the office today - did you know he’s a veteran Broadway singer?
