1 x after soltner . . .
it was ok. i'd rather go to the source. is there a new new guy? (how many iterations?) i forgot: march.
craft is idiotic. when i went there, it was spanking new and only b/c it was around the corner from no. 2's office.
you had to literally mix and match every dish. dessert e.g. a "starch" -- crepe, pain perdu etc. a "topping" -- berries etc. a "sauce" -- caramel etc. a "cream" -- ice, whipped, anglaise. (and there were like 5 of each). i could have gone to gristedes and had an easier time. my head almost exploded. every course was like that. plus they served veggies in little pots . . . i found that to be a turn off. but hey, i was disappointed by taillevant . . . go figure.
i still like that flay boy's restaurants. although the new one never materialized.

They ended that reasonably quickly, since no one wanted to do that much work for their dinner. I went afterwards, and just didn't really like the food ( too much of which reminded be of stewed old socks ).
I find him so fucking annoying that I try not to eat at any of his spots.

I guess this just means that I'm not as secure in my masculinity/adulthood as I like to think, but there is NO FUCKING WAY I'd even talk to a cocktail waitress about girlie/kiddie drinks like that.
(Sometimes, when I take my Stripper Friends out to dinner, I'm embarrassed even to be sitting at a table with them when I see what kinds of cocktails they order. I guess I'm no Flounder.)

u know who is REALLY nice (and cute) rocco dispirito. really adorable. and a pretty good chef.
jl:
it just means your a snob. but that's what you've worked your whole life for isn't it?
btw stayed tuned for the really hard question. i have to file with the SEC . . . just sit tight. i knew where gs was, what's the name of that guy who owns jamin? i can't think of it. tell me a good restaurant in venice. not locanda blah blah or harry's.
thanks,

Isn't that Joel Robuchon (sp)? Am I wrong about that? Isn't he about to open a restaurant in NYC, too?
My favorite restaurant in Venice is some place on an obscure square the name of which I can't remember. I would never be able to write out directions for you. I can't remember what the restaurant's called, but it's owned by a guy named Nereo Volpe. Or something like that.
