Diamond Jim Brady

James Buchanan Brady, the American railroad tycoon, after amassing great wealth thanks to his rail supplies company, became known for two things. One was his love of expensive jewelry and the other was his love of food.

For breakfast he had pancakes, muffins, grits, bread, eggs, chops, steaks, fried potatoes, and entire pitchers of orange juice.

This would have been followed soon after by a light snack of several dozen clams until lunch.

At lunch, Brady would eat more clams along with several lobsters, crabs, beef, and pie.

Then came another snack during the afternoon, followed by dinner, which was usually the biggest meal of the day: steak, a few dozen oysters, a dozen crabs, half a dozen lobsters, soup, and, for dessert, a few pounds of chocolate candies and a tray of pastries.
