When the third or fourth cocktail arrives and Chicās āI Want Your Loveā comes on, that is a very Horses moment for me 
Havenāt had their pasta al limone in a while, but itās really good, too.

It reminds me of this admonition from Strunk & White:
- Do not affect a breezy manner.
The volume of writing is enormous, these days, and much of it has a sort of windiness
about it, almost as though the author were in a state of euphoria. āSpontaneous me,ā sang
Whitman, and, in his innocence, let loose the hordes of uninspired scribblers who would
one day confuse spontaneity with genius.
The breezy style is often the work of an egocentric, the person who imagines that
everything that comes to mind is of general interest and that uninhibited prose creates high
spirits and carries the day.

Whatās the connection?
I mean this respectfully, obviously this article or my opinion on it isnāt a big deal, but I donāt get the hate. Itās explicitly a bitchy, dishy, knowing Vanity Fair style piece, almost meant to be hate read.
Probably outing myself as a (post?) hipster here, but itās the Lebowski line, āsay what you want about the tenets of national socialism dude, at least itās an ethos.ā Low bar, but fun to read something from a very specific perspective and voice, however absurd or masturbatory or full of itself.
And he went at Eric Wareheim, whoās absolutely insufferable.

yep, exactly. I actually know TJ a little, youāve summed up his entire personality, esp his food writing.

Yeah, heās not a food critic guys, heās a cultural personality / comedian who likes food as a hobby. So itās a fun piece he did. If youāre looking for capital C criticism sure you can rip it apart.

If heās a comedian, then his humorās just not for me. But few if any comedians are funny for everyone.

caveat: iām friends with eric and i enjoy hanging out with him. He has an enthusiasm for food/wine thatās pretty refreshing in a cynical age.
