GerryOlds2TheReturnofGerry Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Tbh I'm surprised (but happy) to see the Cuozzo rave. I hardly ever agree with him. Edited December 26, 2023 by GerryOlds2TheReturnofGerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 now you can finally get the goods on this jumped-up diner peddling overpriced scampi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakeater Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Mongo, on a restaurant other than Foxface: Quote even if the prawns themselves were inconsistently cooked (the one that fell to my share was over-cooked while the missus’ was perfectly tender).

mongo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 yes, but to be fair semma has a michelin star and foxface does not (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakeater Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) My only point was that I got some pushback when I said in the Eater thread that, contrary to an assertion in Eater, prawns aren't THAT easy to cook because you have to take a lot of care not to overcook them. And that's just what this Michelin-starred restaurant did! Edited December 30, 2023 by Sneakeater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 yes, certainly not a doddle when stir-frying several large head-on prawns together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relbbaddoof Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 While on the subject of hatchet jobs, I don't know if this has been noted upthread but the "alt text" description of the Foxface Natural pictures in the Eater "review" make interesting reading. Here are a choice few, with the official picture captions above them: The shrimp heads at Foxface Natural. Two red heads with gunk inside and antennae protruding. The kangaroo tartare. An amorphous red heap with a big cracker and black quenelle of eggplant. Goat and eggplant entree. Blobs of brown and purple with orange sauce flowing around. You might put these down to the work of a grumpy alt-text generator, but a quick look suggests that this animus does not extend into other Eater reviews.

small h Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 That's some aggressive alt-texting! Somehow reminds me of this: https://observer.com/2014/03/park-slope-kiddie-shop-hunts-for-owner-of-lulus-anal-bleaching-wifi/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Excellent and excessive NYE dinner. The highlight was a combo of fresh foie gras and smoked Maine eel with Concord grape and hazelnuts. Also the blood sauce surrounding a mighty and very rare piece of venison. I did like the cardamom-flavored tarte tatin but couldn't find much room for it. The wine pairings were stellar, especially a Guy Breton beaujolais and a Bodegas Cota 45 (palomino with distinct notes of a good fino sherry).

bloviatrix Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) I'm not sure what has me drooling more: the venison or the duck. They both look sublime. Edited January 1 by bloviatrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
