That would be an experience.

Chicken at last!

I got to meet him one night at Gage & Tollner back when Edna was still cooking there. This was when I was about 11 or 12 and was a tournament tennis player. It was fairly early and no one else was in the restaurant. We spent a bunch of time chatting with Mr. Ashe and it remains a cherished and meaningful memory of hospitality and humanity.

I have pretty much only enjoyed the Please Do Not Destroy shorts the last few seasons. Not much else. It has always been mostly misses with a few hits, but these last few years have been miss for me. Maybe the youngs like it.

Any news? Very curious to see what's next....

People swear by Pizza Suprema. Not my personal fave, but a moment's walk from Penn. https://nypizzasuprema.com/

Such a cool, nice and interesting guy. A regular at my old restaurant. Nice!

Patti Smith?

Yes. A lot of places will be missed.

I understand.

I'm not sure that I would agree, but they also didn't have a dedicated reviewer and spend less time on NYC restaurants. As I have said in the past I can only comment on what I know and having been involved in the promotion of multiple restaurants there is a lot more coordination and long lead coordination with publications than people think. I completely understand why people would choose to not believe that.

It's actually what many places would prefer. Waiting until they get their feet under them. This recent round of coordinated PR is not coincidence. All places where stories get placed rather than happen organically.

The PR companies work very hard to control the narrative.

I'd be open to a butter chicken "experience" with you.....

I think I mostly bought Winco because in the restaurant we beat them up pretty hard inside of 5gallon buckets with the back of a ladle so cost effective mattered. Given your use needs, I would think just making sure you got the mesh and volume size you need is most important and it will probably last you a good while.

Pop and Dutch and....Ladyslipper!

If you are planning to press the solids to strain, you may want to invest in a chinois. If it's just for straining, mesh strainer (with additional cheesecloth or coffee filter for extra filtering in a pinch).

My brother would pick up supplies there on his way home back when we lived together in Williamsburg-- a gem.

I saw them at the Fillmore East opening for The NY Dolls.

Agreed! They are endangered.

I admire Greg Baxtrom but the way the industry has become, projects like his are going to become far more rare. And if you are concerned about your mental health, this is the wrong industry.

😱 It was still able to purr after all of that swathing and silkification?!

Suckers born every minute. The menu alone is super annoying.
