Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-21

by Jason Roth on June 21, 2009

  • Fast Company’s “10 Most Creative People in Food” – http://tinyurl.com/lejda5 (If you count doing marketing for Frito-Lay as “in food”.) #
  • 30-Foot Bar! Oh, and a bunch of ping-pong tables. http://www.spinyc.com/ I might have to give Spin New York a spin. #
  • Just ordered sushi from Chikurin in Forest Hills. As a joke, asked if they deliver sake. Response: hot or cold. Awesome. (Cold.) #
  • Come on, Subway. On a ham and turkey sandwich (6-inch), I get 2 slices of each. But on a turkey sandwich, I only get 3. They cost the same! #
  • Now, something positive about Subway: their flatbread. This pre-made, pre-packaged stuff is actually edible. Even makes Subway tolerable. #
  • I can’t brag about which top restaurant I’m eating at this Saturday. It’ll spoil my wife’s surprise. (And she may question my use of money.) #
  • Restaurant Guy Savoy just emailed about their new Krug Room. They actually think I can afford to eat there twice. http://tinyurl.com/krtvhe #
  • Watching Top Chef Masters on the DVR. Gotta root for Wylie Dufresne. Love WD-50, and he gave me a tour of his kitchen. #topchefmasters #
  • Another reason to root for Wylie Dufresne on Top Chef Masters: knot foie. http://bit.ly/gfPpe #
  • Top Chef Masters: So much talent, so much boredom. I was on the edge of my seat, asleep. #topchefmasters #
  • Clarification: Wylie Dufresne didn’t give me a tour of his kitchen, a waiter did. However, Dufresne did show me where the bathroom was. #
  • Just heard Charlie Trotter call himself “the staunchest libertarian”. I thought I liked him. http://tinyurl.com/md3rst #
  • The Chopping Block is back on. The blond customer I deemed “Forehead Woman” is one of those bitches who makes a scene in front of a camera. #
  • What we made for dinner: lamb chops with red wine and fresh cherry reduction; pea and mint puree; mushrooms sauteed with red wine. #
  • Quote of the day: “Don’t worry so much about ‘not supposed to’.” – Armande Voizin (Judi Dench), Chocolat. Preview: http://tinyurl.com/cr4fvx #
