How to make your man a Gentleman

9/28/00
Greetings Ladies,
My name is Jason Tesauro.  Phineas Mollod and I have written a book which will be published in 2001.  Modern Gentleman is a witty and intelligent guide devoted to honing a man’s gentlemanly spirit.
(...)
MG covers classical etiquette subjects such as *Hosting,* *Correspondence* and *Gifting,* with a current and clever take on the usual dry and concise Amy Vanderbilt fare.  The volume is primarily devoted to exploring contemporary and compelling
questions previously unvisited, such as *Buffetiquette,* *Flaskmanship* and *Trunk Packing.*  Serious topics like *Monogamy & Infidelity* and *Apologies* are addressed side-by-side with whimsical toilings concerning *Fireworks,* *Flirtation* and *Fondue.*

The Art of Buffet
June 18, 2011 ·
Hello everyone and thank you for liking “The Art of Buffet”! It is a blog I decided to start to satisfy my creative writing need along with my love for buffets. Buffetiquette, Buffet styles, Buffet strategies, how to avoid Buffet offenders (Buffepticons) and much more! My goal is eventually to publish a buffet field guide, but for now I hope you enjoy my musings! Check it out at http://www.strategicbuffet.blogspot.com

A “friendly” reminder for your local Asian buffet. DON’T overstay your welcome. That’s bad #buffetiquette.
