Bombs, they was called.
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?

Oh, I know. But it's very nice to be able to get all your stuff under one roof.
That's too easy!!

Well I must not know anything about retailing. Color me shocked that a store open a whole two to three days a week (when it wasn’t just randomly closed for the better part of a month to go on vacation or something) couldn’t survive.

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.

If he thinks he was treated badly for asking that the bagel be scooped out, he should try asking for it to be toasted! (at least at some places)
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.

To be honest, bagels are simply too heavy for me.
Buy minis, my bagels of choice.

In that case I misread your initial post. I thought you weren't aware of the complex. It may be large, but it's NOT a neighborhood.
I think it’s a neighborhood, it’s just east of the FDR!

But I gather he hasn’t been involved in the day to day of any of his restaurants in a decade or so.
Probably the smartest thing he ever did…or someone helped him do.

. But that’s fine. 2023 David Chang is a west coast suburban dad. I wouldn’t expect him to represent the zeitgeist. If Momofuku goes from a twelve-seat noodle joint to a ConAgra subsidiary worth a billion dollars, it’ll be a great success story and good for him.
But the main problem I have with this is that he was a douche to many employees. And probably a few customers as well.

Yes. It was a disastrous rollout of apparently inedible and unsafe food prepared by untrained, unskilled workers in terrible conditions with zero oversight or intentionality.
It's why Dave now sells microwave cookware...

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.

This bass was caught in Moriches Inlet. But not by me. Or @MitchW, for that matter.
The inlet is interesting...not necessarily considered navigable.
QuoteNavigating the Water:
Use NOAA Chart 12352.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, Moriches Inlet is unreliable and should not be attempted at any time by deeper-draft boats. Those boats with a shoal draft (three feet or less) can attempt the inlet form either direction, but should do so only with prior local knowledge form a reputable source. By no means should this inlet be attempted by any vessel in the event of a storm. Strong currents can mix with brisk winds to create a melee of waves, eddies and exposed shoals.
Red and white Morse (A) buoy M marks the approach to Moriches Inlet from the south via the Atlantic Ocean, and flashing green 1 at the north side of the inlet guides you farther in. The most dangerous part of the inlet is a quarter- to half-mile southeast of the opening. Although the chart shows six- to eight-foot depths, this area is where silt deposits from the inlets strong outflow. As such, the depths change constantly and there are no aids to navigation, save for some strategically placed milk jugs left by transiting fisherman who use the inlet every day.
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.
