Bashing the Noo Yawk Times is just too easy. Story in today's edition that's getting lots of attention: The Frugal Traveler, Matt Gross, visits Seattle for the express purpose of sampling happy hours. Goes to Cascadia, naturally, but is disappointed to find the $1 miniburgers "bland and overcooked, they tasted like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp."
Dude! The dollar miniburgers haven't been around for ages. Now $2.50. Don't they have fact-checkers at the Times? Go ahead, google "Cascadia Miniburgers"--if you don't believe Seattlest or Cornichon, you've still got HTML of the current menu.
And why izzit that some reporters always seem to get the stale donut, the overcooked lamb chop? The sparkle goes out of Champagne as they raise the glass, the flame of romance dies as they approach the scented candle. Here I thought the Pee-Eye's Leslie Kelly was the only restaurant writer with that particular attribute. Seems Matt Gross has the same magic touch.
