"It comes from the same team behind fratty pub Fiddlesticks...."

Is that the place that used to be Uncle Charlie's?

A new place is listed as serving drinks "with names like . . . Penicillin".

Can they not know?

Oy.

Yes

I plan to have a drink with a name like Martini later.

"An argument to bring back liverwurst, the least popular sandwich option in New York."

Inadvertently funny?

"In my quest to buy a liverwurst sandwich, something like the ones I ate as a kid, I tried five delis in the West Village, and none seemed to have it..." Seemed to?

Robert, try your local supermarket. Believe me, it will seem to have it. It will also have bread and a raw onion if you insist. I will post instructions on assembling the sandwich later.

[Sneakeater]

If you live in Ridgewood liverwurst is simply NOT a problem.

[Orik]

What's amazing about him is the deli case is staring him right in the face saying Boar's Head and he still doesn't realize these are all the same meats in the various delis including what must be the world's least flavorful liverwurst. 

[Sneakeater]

EXACTLY

[Sneakeater]

But of course, as we've learned, Sietsema doesn't believe in differences in ingredient quality.

[Sneakeater]

Or I guess what I mean is "can't discern".

[Sneakeater]

Which I guess makes life easier for him.  But cuts down on his value as a food reviewer.

That's funny right there

When somebody refers to secondi on an Italian menu as "pasta-free options", you kind of have to wonder whether they have the slightest idea how Italian food works.

Are you going to be ok? 

[Sneakeater]

No. 

[Wilfrid]

Any worse than the New Yorker?

[Sneakeater]

This morning Eater was calling Billy Durney "the chef who put Red Hook on the map."

Apparently, somebody told them.

[Steve R.]

I still miss 360.

[Sneakeater]

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"From the restauranteur that put Hamptons dining on the map comes the Northfork Bistro-- showcasing the menu items that defined barbecue and tavern dining for generations of NYC diners. This inventive "shack" features the chef's iconic re-imagining of a hamburger by placing it on a bun.... as well as their unique salt and pepper brisket with smoke...."

I can't wait until they write this next.....

[backyardchef]

Awww, rats! Keith McNally making news again....

[Diancecht]

Weird. It is an excellent advertisement.
