We’re still waiting for the DMTree review of Megu. In the meantime, the Post whines about the menu, never mind the food.
youch is anyone happy with amanda hesser?
Gushing 71 Clinton review. Well, it would be gushing except it's true. Seriously. This kid is off the charts.
Farci of vidalia onion, riesling risotto, savoy cabbage, golden raisins, marscapone is my new favorite dish in the world.
I don't know the reviewer, Andrea Strong, but her blog looks nice.
We had a fun meal at Woo Chon yesterday: myriad veggie appetizer/condiments and beef seared en table. Baby had milk. One topic of our conversation is treated in today's Page Six:
NOT BITING
YOU can't throw a rock without hitting someone who doesn't want to be the next New York Times restaurant critic. First, former New Yorker literary editor Bill Buford turned his nose up at the offer. Next, we're told they asked novelist Jay McInerney , but he didn't bite, having just signed on for another year as wine columnist for House & Garden. Sources say British author Julian Barnes also found the grind unappetizing while San Francisco Chronicle foodie Michael Bower almost lost his lunch at the prospect. (Bower says he never met with anyone from the Times.) Meanwhile, the paper is still on its second "interim" critic, Amanda Hesser . Will it need a third?
Miso soup invasion. BYOS (bring your own sake)
as much as i loved chocolate and milk as a child, i was not a chocolate milk fanatic, in fact, i rarely had it. in the past few weeks, ive had a little chocolate milk flare-up. and today in a moment of weakness, i reached out in the aisle for the hersheys syrup. got me wondering what other people drank while growing up. we usually had quik for hot chocolate, or occasionally swiss miss. my cousins had bosco which was always the best part of those visits. any ovalteeners out there? what if they had called it roundteen? would it have tasted as good?
in case you weren't keeping notes...last night's tasting menu at wd...

theres a jewish deli over on grand st near clinton with the unappetizing name of Noahs Ark. (hey, lets eat two of everything!) i checked out their website and found this sample bris catering menu, the idea of which i thought was humorous. i just hope that their luncheon meats are thinly sliced.
another reason not to eat farm raised salmon
