I definitely confit at home, but I rarely farci. If the failure to know what the word "farci" means on a French-ish menu means was the only issue, then it might be forgiven. But it's not the only symptom, it's the disease of shit food writing...and editing.

Those are beautiful!

Penne w/mushroom/tomato ragu. Endive and arugula salad. Red.

The William Shatner version?

That's it! So this is the comeback, I guess.

showing off the plating skills I didn't learn in cooking school: Chicken pot-roasted and "carved" (well, pulled apart). Pan jus. Twice-baked potato with twice as much sour cream as I should've put in. Peas and carrots. Rib pork chop, sautéed and sliced off the bone. Pan gravy from drippings, stock, vermouth, mustard, butter. Rancho Gordo's alubia blanca beans, stovetop cooked first, then baked with Parmigiano, olive oil, herbs, bread crumbs. Thrice-baked potato. Cole slaw on the side.

Wasn't this the place that did the sushi balls of some sort; like their nigiri was on like a half sphere of rice? Where I actually had (I think) a decent meal on our first visit, and a less decent meal on our 2nd and last visit?

I respect you for that.

That's too easy!!

A type of lobster? Mushroom?

Well, there is also the little known fact that most of that stuff is available a few blocks away for a lot less money. Or the other fact, that most of that stuff - no one gives a shit about.

My next order - scooped, toasted, and restuff the insides raw!

I was picking up bagels at a place in New Jersey - this place has good bagels, and when I picked mine up, they were warm from the oven. Yet there were still people ordering their bagels with schmears or with cream cheese + smoked salmon, bagel to be toasted. My feeling is places shouldn't even offer toasting; if you want your fresh out of the oven bagel toasted, bring it home.

A delicious one, yes.

Buy minis, my bagels of choice.

U don’t know what lobster is?

I think it’s a neighborhood, it’s just east of the FDR!

Probably the smartest thing he ever did…or someone helped him do.

But the main problem I have with this is that he was a douche to many employees. And probably a few customers as well.

And may someone have mercy on us all.

You took the words... However, I'm thankful (though not 100% certain) that person did not have to look up oeufs mayo.

It's why Dave now sells microwave cookware... The future is unwritten!!

Nor I. Same with chickfil a.

Waterside is the first or last stop on the M34 bus, so that might be a reason? Maybe 25% is hardly anyone, but that's how many call it that.

The inlet is interesting...not necessarily considered navigable. So we fished the inlet a bit - along with probably 2 dozen other fishing boats, and you (or should I say the captain) need to pay constant attention. So after a couple of casts, we went out and into the ocean, where there's a lot more room.
