Dreams of steaks fuel wartime prisoner to restaurateur glory
HAL BOYLE New York reports on Gil Bloom a South Orange private who survived a German prison camp after Dieppe and Anzio. Food and steaks haunted him, guiding his postwar life from recovery to opening The Charcoal Room at 45th Street and 2nd Avenue. He credits meals and a trencherman spirit, even as he contemplates a diet after ballooning to 215 pounds.
