In Topic: Hitchens on waiters pouring wine

Today, 02:56 PM

Example one: everybody was told to bring wine. One of them brings a special bottle. He tells the host it's special. The host puts all the open bottles on the table together. Someone unknowingly takes the one that's much better and more expensive than all the others and fills his or her glass up to the rim with a huge pour from it.

(Worse if it's knowing -- but it never is.)

isn't that the host's error?


In Topic: Time Out ranks the New York food critics

Hello, everyone. Yesterday, I was laid off from the Village Voice after 28 years of writing there, as you've probably read. The response has been astounding. I think I got more Facebook posts and tweets than Angelina's breasts, lol! People came out in droves to support me and said they've appreciated my work through the years. The performers, artists, and party people I've long trumpeted rallied to give me love and show their loyalty. The readers who've followed me came out to say how tragic they felt this turn of events was. And I want to tell you how incredibly touched I am by the outpouring. I don't do earnestness very well--and this may well be the last time I even try--but all of your comments have really buoyed me and made me heartened to know that I'm appreciated, and I just want to say THANK YOU for the love. I've tried to thank each person personally--feeling like Joan Crawford as I've done so--but if I missed someone, this is my way of saying I am EXTREMELY grateful the support. To know that none of this happens in a vacuum is a great thing because we can use these social tools to lift each other up and help each other to more glory. Soon I will update you on my future activities (which will be plentiful, I'm sure). In the meantime, MWAH!!!!!!

that's what michael musto said


In Topic: New cookbooks

Yesterday, 01:25 PM

picked up flour by joanne chang today for $3.03. it's a weird book with some good info for beginning bakers, but nothing that you wouldn't find in the the cake bible. i think it's weird that two well known food stylists did the photography but there are hardly any photos in the book. there are some nice frozen dessert recipes but not much else that really grabbed me.

In Topic: Things I won't be doing

I won't be going to Bushwick in late June.  Per Eater -

 

Bushwick drinking place Kings County Bar is trying to turn heads with a pageant in search of the smallest manhood in Brooklyn. In late June, the bar is holding a Smallest Penis contest, which doesn't require any actual nudity, but all men-who-definitely-are-not-compensating-for-anything are warned that they "should expect to wear wet underwear (which will be provided)."

fear of success? i kid because, i love
