MitchW Posted December 6, 2024 Share Posted December 6, 2024 Quote "All affected employees have been notified and are receiving transition support.” What does this mean, cab fare? Now I really don't feel bad about not reading any of this crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieL Posted December 6, 2024 Share Posted December 6, 2024 (edited) I actually rely on the coverage in Eater San Francisco. Not only have I read dining news there that may not have been reported elsewhere, but I probably wouldn't have otherwise heard of this great LGBTQ supper club that's given N and I lots of good times. I've also found it useful when I'm traveling. Got lots of great Chicago tips from the Eater maps.

mongo Posted December 7, 2024 Share Posted December 7, 2024 yes, there's a lot of crap on eater but there's also a lot of good/useful stuff. with these cuts the crap:good ratio is going to get even worse. and priya krishna is doubtless trying hard behind the scenes to be named the permanent times restaurant critic. bleak times for mainstream food journalism in the u.s.

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. Second most read Eater story of 2024. Inexplicable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orik Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 Very funny given said liverwurst caused such a listeria outbreak that they shut down the Boar's Head plant forever. It was also likely the world's worst liverwurst (once I picked one up instead of the similarly packaged S&W product and I thought I'd lost my sense of taste) and Sietsema's fascination with it is just weird https://ny.eater.com/2019/1/29/18194492/nyc-sandwiches-rays-deli-liverwurst-sandwich (It almost seems like in 2024 he'd forgotten which Deli it was that served it and went to a few of them until he found it again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 There is a little disclaimer that the publication preceded the Boar's Head thing. But why do people care? You can make a liverwurst sandwich or not; it's easy. Like freaking out because you can't get a PB&J at your local deli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweatshorts Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 It's actually really impressive that this entire article about the opening of a new soup shop has only one sentence about how the soup tastes (though it's not clear that it's good, it's just thick and savory!): https://ny.eater.com/2025/1/3/24335091/schnippers-quality-soups-hale-and-hearty-opening-upper-east-side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Well I didn't know that there were people called Schnipper involved in Schnipper's and Hale & Hearty, so I learned something, if not about the soup. I never went to Hale & Hearty because (1) the name and (2) soup, meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behemoth_Munich Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Eater Munich is surprisingly on point. I’m just glad it’s not a popular foodie destination as the places they call out are rather small and neighborhood-y. German children love liverwurst. I’ve developed a taste for it myself since moving here though the stuff we get is extremely high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I don't know the business model; maybe it's working across the country in areas with less local food media. I would not be buying shares in it. People have moved on. Which is not to sneer; we went from food forums like this one to personal food blogs to Instagram and TikTok, and things won't be static.
