CGar, if you are paging Jessi that must mean you completed your phone call last night. How did it go?

DH’S 10 MOST PRETENTIOUS RESTAURANTS LINK IS HILARIOUS

Seriously it’s inspiring me to change careers to food critic.

“10. Ippudo – No question, the food at Ippudo is great. Nothing warms the soul on a cold day like a bowl of the akamaru modern or the special karaka-men. But a restaurant that quotes you a two to three hour wait time, unapologetically and without acknowledging the ridiculousness of the situation? No thanks. Even Nate Appleman agrees the restaurant’s pretentious.”

“5. Diner – Yes, this was the restaurant that ushered in “Brooklyn Cuisine” (and the accompanying holier-than-thou culinary outlook that now pervades the borough). Admittedly, the food can be quite good. But it’s galling that servers write out the menu on the paper placemat. We get it. You’re soooo cool and soooo into seasonal fare and you’re soooo creative that the menu is never the same.”

“3. Il Matto – When experimental cuisine is done right, it’s amazing, but there’s a fine line between innovative and irritating. This Tribeca Italian restaurant’s cocktail menu includes martinis flavored with Mongolian rocks soaked in vermouth for twelve hours. Which pretty much defines pretension.”

I always look to be spread.

I can’t do lunch either…. too many things going on all at once.

Man I’m gonna need a drink tonight.
