- The Shopsin family is bringing the grapefruit julius to Brooklyn. I probably still won't eat there, but I do kind of like the idea of West Villagers getting their panties in a bunch about it.
- Massachussetts is not so sure about that dirty water anymore.
- Moms need help making dinners like cheesy chicken casserole and Salisbury steak. Because paying someone to do all the work and taking all the credit is the American dream.
- You know I love me some Jeffrey Steingarten, but isn't it a little weird that he uses his monthly food column in Vogue this month for a phoned-in profile of Iron Chef co-star Morimoto and his new eponymous restaurant? And that the article also mentions another New York-based Iron Chef, Mario Batali and his new behemoth Del Posto? And it's actually the less-interesting chef profile in the magazine to boot (it's beaten out by a wardrobe heavy look at Suzanne Goin of Lucques).
- Keith "Best Garlic Ever" Stewart of the Union Square Greenmarket has a new book. In it, he talks about leaving corporate New York and starting his organic farm in his mid-40s. Likely to dredge up self-loathing and feelings of inadequacy among underachieving yippie sellouts all over the city.
