(To W. C. Fields) “Sir, you only drink because you think it makes you interesting.”
“No madame, I drink because it makes other people seem interesting.” – W. C. Fields (also attributed to George Jean Nathan)
ELV Gets Cheesed Off
[nggallery id=1742]
When a fellow critic says something truly idiotic (in print no less) along the lines of: “The cheeses at Morels are every bit as ripe and well conditioned as anything I’ve had at Robuchon or Savoy,” ELV has two choices: he can either let the stench of such know-nothingness hang in the air like the odor of sun-baked Limburger, or he can set the record straight (and, once again, call out the never-ending cheer-leading that passes for food reporting in our humble burg).
Guess which path we’re taking?
