Food for Thought: Bruni rails against conformity, much like a Goth teenager

Frank Bruni of the New York Times gave Cru three stars today (a nice return on investment for the owners lies ahead), but what's more significant is this article where he collectively spanks all the new Asian themed restaurants that are as authentically Asian as General Tso's Chicken and fortune cookies. He laments of me-too-ism and fish served raw. He even takes a similar, brief potshot in the review of Cru.

I totally agree with him. Trendy restaurants suck ass. I have no pity for any of those assholes perpetually waiting in line for a table at Spice Market as if it were a new ride at a Disney theme park. Which, if you look at the Meatpacking District nowadays, is not too far from the truth.

Props to Homer, where you can get a bowl of soup and half a sandwich for 4 bucks. They serve beer too. Amsterdam Ave, I believe just south of 84th St. There's my food review.
