*crispy waffle*

Many don't know how far my irritance with Frank Bruni extends. Frank Bruni is the New York Times restaurant critic who, at the height of the tsunami distaster, wrote a review in which he goes to the Japanese restaurant Masa and blows more than $300... per person. My hatred increased the moment I read that review-- I mean, who does that? Distasteful, to say the least. Not to mention his writing is totally ludicrous! Here's how he describes what a great seafood restaurant should be:

It has the flexibility of a yogi master, the balance of a Romanian gymnast. And it cinches the verdict: Laurent Tourondel is back in the swim.

So come to find out I'm not the only one who finds the Brunster ridiculous. I just discovered an awesome blog that describes Frank Bruni's reviews as "a huge faberge egg of hilarity". I love it!
