The Grilled Chicken Paillard makes me mouthwatering. I’ll try it this weekend. Thanks for sharing!

hahaha docChuck — you went to THE OLIVE GARDEN several times a week, and you claim to have ANY knowledge about food!?!?! lets be serious, Olive Garden is an absolutely disgusting chain that only clowns with no taste buds eat at.

Mrs. D and I went for dinner at Pasti’s last week. Daunted by the NYT review about the 2-hour wait, we did the senior’s early-bird at 6:30 on a Wednesday and walked right in. Strongly recommend going carnivore: steak tartare was outstanding, and the braised beef was a fist-sized (apologies to the meatpackers) hunk of deliciousness. Skip the chicken “diable”: the bacon on top was weird, but FoodGuy would probably love it. It’s got bacon.

Good-sized drinks and nice service. Breakfast menu looks good, too.

And where’s DocChuck been? (see his classic contibution, above). Any guy who loves Olive Garden, with anoles (that’s with an “n”) and Mr. Wiggles the cat must know his food.

Dear DocChuck,

Uh, what’s the PhD in? You must be real smart.
And why would anyone go to Olive Garden several times a week? Did you own the franchise?

Hmm, I’m on to you, Mr. “trying to scare people away from this site,” or should I say, Mr. Levine! You can’t fool me..

Please allow me to comment on this public health menace. Though it may not matter since over 25% of all NYC residents have infectious herpes. Or so I’m told.

That burger looks like a great deal of intestinal trouble. And my wife agrees with me. She is an ostentatious cougar, by the way.

I came down with a rather debilitating bout of salmonella poisoning last year. We kept no filthy turtles in our home, though I did have a rather impressive collection of anoles (which I named after Food Network personalities), as well as my beloved housecat, Mr. Wiggles.

My doctor ruled out Mr. Wiggles and told me that the cause was likely the anoles, my daily sunny-side up egg or the never-ending salad bowl at the Olive Garden, which I used to patronize several times a week.

After what I went through (I will not get into the details here), I humanely disposed of the anoles and vowed never to eat eggs or restaurant salads again.

Although I am NOT a nutritionist, I AM a PhD and my wife is a respected health professional. Eating a runny egg on top of a burger showing pink inside is playing Russian Roulette with your health. Only an uneducated numbskull would do that.

Grace,

Congrats. This is a big moment for you I’m glad the fries at Pastis weren’t an anomaly. What other restaurants have you been to in NYC that you think are worth a review?

i’ve only been to three restaurants in the city, and this is one of them! i went for brunch and had a way over-priced (but still tasty) bowl of yogurt with granola and berries. my friend, however, got an awesome omelet that came with fries, and you’re right–they are fabulous.
…and i just realized how ridiculously excited i am to have actually eaten at one of the nyc restaurants reviewed by someone else! i’m such a geek.
