"Asshole Retailer of the Year Award" for 2002!!
Why?
Yeah, what happened? We know them if it's something that can be fixed.
went to order some fish (first time i have ever been in the store as i dont love this kind of food, or not yet), told this young kid the recipe, this older guy hands him a fish, kid looks confused, guy wispers "He cant tell the difference", i know NYC can be "in the know or get fucked" but right in front of me....i dont know fish well but i have poured wine side by side with one of thier suppliers named Sir John....after a few seconds shock and a few slices in, i said thats enough of that one, let me have some of this one...the first which was no less money and maybe more and was inferior (from what i learned with Sir John)....
(this is the only internet ref to Sir John i could find) The Shetland Smokehouse were not represented by the formidable Hammonds this year due to other commitments, but their American agent Sir John Wincroft was a bit of a class act and added his own 'flavour' to the stand. It is always an attraction at an exhibition if there is something to taste and even more so when it involves a blind taste test. Sir John was slicing up two smoked fillets, one a Shetland salmon smoked in Skeld, the other a Shetland salmon smoked in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. The verdict from most was a clear preference for the Shetland smoked version, and an even more decisive vote came on the final day when a buyer who had sampled all of the smoked salmon on offer throughout returned to give Sir John the nod.
Years later I would like to hear from 'Skinny'. We are still trying to make a difference in the smoked fish market.
could some one flag skinny on this? hey, linda
he's a cool dude, that sir john, and if your readying this, sir john there is nothing i ncan do to help, your product stands for itself
