I skimmed Eater's adoring coverage of Resy today, looking for a single mention of how Resy's interface is absolute garbage for trying to find a place to eat. Not one. I wonder how much Resy paid for all this!

Don't tell Wilf about the opening line in that piece.

I read the first article of Tammie's successor (https://www.grubstreet.com/2023/01/martinis-and-fries-the-new-york-happy-meal.html), and...I miss Tammie.

(Had a miscommunication/change of plans and ended up in Red Hook with a toddler instead of Clinton Hill on a date. Went to Pizza Moto and thought it was quite enjoyable.)

I knew I could count on you! I'll set a Resy alert and keep my fingers crossed.

Where should two people walk in for dinner tonight in Clinton Hill? Place des Fetes? Lulu and Po? I'm so out of the loop.

Really? I did it all the time and I often saw other people doing it too.

It has one star and a critic's pick now.

Got some Bordier butter and tried it for the first time in my life. WOW it is gamey.

Man, I really liked this place for the initial stretch that it was open with Hedlund as the chef. I followed him on Instagram for years after he left and was always sad I never got to eat his cooking again.

Happy birthday Sneak! I went to L'Artusi a few weeks ago and it was actively bad. Undercooked pasta, a broken cacio e pepe, everything intensely salty.

Dang, they could have at least cited me.

I walk past 158 Lafayette whenever I go into the office, and unless it is the best-hidden speakeasy in the city and the bouncer is the unhoused man who has been living under the scaffolding there for the last 6+ months, it's been closed for a long time.

Only $37 for a burger with fries ($48 after tax and tip). A bargain, nowadays!
