Right, so I said I would try not to hate too much, but this blog has been inattentive of late, and failed to make any mention of this review. About which I have to say only this: when the newspaper of record starts to review places that are obviously trying to cater to the lowest common denominator, what's next, Applebees? Seriously Frank, quit it.
But the good news is this: Rising Star David Chang is opening yet another restaurant, and moving the original Noodle Bar into a bigger space. Which just might mean that when I feel like picking up some ramen to go, I won't have to call first. And that would be nice.

- I'm trying to write a book of poems while working as a chef. It's not about food. But I like this qoute anyway: People ask me: Why do you write about food, and eating and drinking? Why don't you write about the struggle for power and security, and about love, the way others do? They ask it accusingly, as if I were somehow gross, unfaithful to the honor of my craft. The easiest answer is to say that, like most other humans, I am hungry. But there is more than that. It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot write straightly of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it,...and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied...and it is all one.
