What you’re looking at

This page features a portrait drawing by Leo Mielziner (signed 1921) titled "Among Those Pleasant—Edward W. Bok." The caption quotes praise for Bok's culinary achievements, suggesting he elevated cooking from "mockery of plain-cookery" to "nineteenth-hole cookery of modern gastronomics." The reference to "nineteenth-hole" (golf course clubhouse) indicates Bok made cooking fashionable among the elite. Edward W. Bok was a prominent early-20th-century editor and philanthropist. This appears to be a complimentary portrait rather than satire—Judge is celebrating his contributions to American culinary culture and refined dining. The text directs readers to an accompanying article for fuller context. Without seeing that article, the specific satirical angle, if any, remains unclear.
