it wouldn't surprise me if he tried to fit this in. Unfortunately, reviewing this place in a way suggests that New Yorkers, the ones who genuinely care about the NY Times reviews, are also interested in hearing about the new Guy Fieri place in Times Square.



i usually don't care much about the mean part, crap is crap, but I am in full agreement that the food blog-like writing style of this review is lame, and I guess this is what annoys me most.

normally, a review like this will put a restaurant on its life line, but I don't think it will here. Those who eat here are more interested in eating at that famous guy on TV's place (but can't afford Gordon Ramsay's) than they are a culinary experience.

I'm actually thinking of going to that place now and having lunch, unironically, just because of that review I'm thinking the actual food can't be as bad as he says.

I think there is a second option.

that's how i pick 'em. here's how i cook 'em.

I just made a pate that has quince and cepes in it. Really awesome.

Unfortunately the cepes that I saw yesterday were quite unfortunate. What kind of pate was it?

I made that Cepe/Eggplant tart from Le Cinq on Monday--that is great.

It's from the Gilles Verot book. Pork, chicken, chicken liver, cepes, quince. Great. Awesome, even.

Oh, you got it? Nice.

I ordered Les Patisserie des Reves, which has this pretty neat feature (I guess; I've never used the barcode thingies before) which sends you to videos of the techniques for the trickier recipes.

i must have missed that earthquake in the northeast that happened when you took that picture.

It's AEK.

I think there's a third option.

you mean AEK, ehkay, and mmkay?

You should do amateur night at the Apollo.

itsstillmatt--never afraid to attempt being the high-and-mighty, holier-than-thou "voice of reason" in any discussion.

(How'd I do at being mean for the fun of it?)

Kind of my thoughts; At first I was like wow, this is brutal and read it with some schadenfreude then about halfway through I was like what's the point of this review? He's just trying to dig in to a portion of the population and try to score some cheap lols and linkbacks. Also, fwiw I read it in the paper and it didn't seem that mean but online for some reason it seems meaner.

SSpamDD.

I guess this is FD-related but I've lost 5 pounds in about a week-and-a-half bringing me close to 60 pounds total in ~one year.
