Martha's Brooklyn Show Wrap

We just got back from the live taping of today’s Martha Stewart Show which was all about Brooklyn food and The Flea. You weren’t allowed to take photos during filming and there was no cell coverage so we couldn’t live-blog it, but here are a couple of shots between takes, including one of the big Brooklyn map they had set up and one of us in the audience. We were told the episode will be online sometime today and will also be re-run at various points. There’s an overview of the segments here.
Congrats on your success! I watched, it was a nice show. Love the Martha Stewart show…still use my HP camera from her Thanksgiving giveaway with Patti Labelle!
Totally agree on Dumont, mopar. I need to check out El Almacen.
Great job Mr B and Senor! Not so long ago, it would have been unimaginable to think that Brooklyn would one day be to NYC as the Left Bank is to Paris. Viva La Flea!
I don’t like Diner. I prefer Northeast Kingdom and El Almacen. I used to love Dumont, but it has really gone downhill.
But DH and MP–do you really think Diner is as good as it was a few years back? Seems like it’s slipped a bit. Just curious.
none of the other brooklyn restaurants, including dressler, al di la, frankies, et, etc, etc. are anywhere near as good as diner and marlow. I realize that comes off as a big claim, but i have tried all the others and I keep on coming back to those two. fresh food, great combos, fantastic music, decor, vibe, great ownership. The other places just don’t hit all those high notes at once and these guys do. We went to al di la for the first time recently, berating ourselves for always heading over to williamsburg to go to diner, and it was fine, but it just wasn’t as good. (by the way, all of the above applies to manhattan as well…)
Cuz Diner is the best – DUH
Congrats, Mr. B–you and the Flea come off great.
My only beef with the show is the focus on the
Diner/Marlow & Sons empire–why are they always the THE place featured when someone’s doing a piece on Brooklyn food and restaurants? It’s getting really boring, especially since Diner isn’t nearly as good as it used to be.
And btw, congrats Mr.B. This is great exposure. Pay no attention to the haters.
