4 people)
Jack Palance was eating the kidney, next to Jacky Robert's table, at the Hemersley Palace in New York city in 1980. Ernie's, where Jacky was then working had been invited by Playboy magazine for the award of the 20 best restaurants in America. Many movie stars were in the Big Apple for that occasion.
Kidneys are usually covered with fat (called suet). In America, they are put on the market fat free. It is a shame because kidneys cooked in their own fat are delicious.
