small h Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Y'all are missing the best part, which is the comments. 99.9% of the time, a NYT restaurant article will inspire at least a dozen responses howling about how the NYT does not pay enough attention to vegetarians and what they want to eat. That can't be said about this piece, so instead we get comments about how there shouldn't be restaurants at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 In this age of commercialism what should be encouraged is home-staged dramas and comedies. Whether sad or funny, what should be discouraged is the existence of theaters in New York. (Thank you @small h) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diancecht Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 click for a related story from 2022: ————— The three principals of Major Food Group, the hospitality company behind the celebrity-packed, always-booked Carbone restaurants, seem to be crushing it in Miami. With Contessa, the chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi and their partner Jeff Zalaznick have now chalked up nine openings in Florida in less than two years. (A 10th, Japanese Bocce Club, opened at the Boca Raton resort the next day.) The partners, all native New Yorkers, will soon have more restaurants here than they do in Manhattan. And that’s to say nothing of the Carbones that need tending in Dallas and Hong Kong, and the Sadelle’s in Paris and Las Vegas, all opened in the last decade. At press time, the global count was 42 restaurants — a portfolio rivaling those of star chefs like Alain Ducasse and Jean-Georges Vongerichten that took 40 years to build. New York, the partners have always said, is “in the DNA” of the brand — not only in its food, but in its combination of irreverence and elegance, past and present, wit and edge. But most of the group’s recent moves appear to be in the direction of a lifestyle brand for the world’s 1 percent: members-only clubs with cigar bars; $500 tracksuits from Mr. Carbone’s fashion line, Our Lady of Rocco; shrimp scampi priced at $35 per shrimp at Carbone Miami; and a branch of Sadelle’s, its homage to Jewish American food, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

What a dumb use of NYT resources. Like when Sam Sifton ate a series of soignee dinners at Per Se, where we was very well known to the house, so he could give it a four star review. Must have set the Times back quite a few grand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Melissa on how to cook and eat without shopping, or something. Reads like a Digby Anderson parody, for anyone who remembers his "Imperative Cooking" column. "No time to buy fresh vegetables? Fortunately, there are those radishes that have been in the fridge for weeks and lashings of very verdant frozen spinach." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diancecht Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 The xiao long bao, when they finally arrived, were deflated and slack, having leaked puddles in their basket, and the dribbles of soup left inside the skins were hardly enough to moisten the chalky meat. Cod-filled dumplings were so bland my friend asked to have them boxed up to take back for her sick dog (four stars from the dog). Shanghai-style rice cakes were threaded with hard nubs of overcooked shrimp and not much by way of seasoning. click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relbbaddoof Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 My experience the one time I've eaten there was closer to Clark's (although not as bad as her worst) than to Rosner's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
