Win!

OMG.... we saw the movie "Over Your Dead Body" this weekend and what jumped out immediately was the age difference between Jason Segal and his female co star. Another old white man that is irresistible to a beautiful, young woman even though he has virtually no redeeming qualities. Barf.

One of my earliest Chowhound friends. 😢

There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy There's only you and me and we just disagree

He was a chef that I really admired growing up. He was one of the people that defined the NY dining scene that created a path for people like me. He was also tirelessly generous with his time and supporting charitable initiatives supported by the industry.

Made my dad a Pastrami for Passover....

Blowing through the Jasmine in my mind.....

Shrimp look perfect @small h

Love those cannoli

Just flush him down the drain already. Noma was always a self-mythologizing, uninteresting hype machine and I hope to never hear his name again.

My mom grew up around him and Ronnie Spector. Marty Coopersmith from Jay and the Americans. Brooklyn, baby!

Fortunately, no. My next project had just opened....

Awwwww...... When I was 'flush' I would sneak over there when I worked at RUB on my break and luxuriate in a meal with a book or my headphones. Usually I just slammed a bunch of dogs at Chelsea Papaya or cheap chili tacos from Fresco Tortilla. They always were very warm and kind at Malibu and exceptionally consistent. A part of the neighborhood.

I want to go to there
