Wednesday Food News

It’s Fall Preview week at the Times. Flo Fab’s got the upcoming restaurant openings, both for this month and the rest of the year. Adjust your diets accordingly!

Bruni covers last year’s hits and misses. The hits: A Voce, Buddakan, Cookshop, Fatty Crab and Telepan. The misses: Charlie Trotter’s Restaurant (which never opened), Craftsteak, Sascha, The E.U., and Ninja.

10495.jpgMichael Ruhlman talks to Gordon Ramsay, whose new place Gordon Ramsay at the London is set for a November opening at the former Righa Royal Hotel. Known for shouting at his employees, Ramsay says he’s been warned about NY unions and workplace environments and, “The moment I touch down at the airport I get put into my straitjacket and I go straight to my management skills to learn how to ask a porter to wash out a copper pan for me.” Our advice: Brush up on your Spanish.

And Bruni one-stars Japonais. He’s over the whole Asian-fusion giant restaurant thing (Megu, Morimoto, Nobu 57 and Ono) and found Japonais to be overall an uneven experience. The restaurant is “a mix of pleasing innovations, trustworthy staples, unimpressive curiosities and outright mistakes,” he says.

In the Post, Cuozzo calls new automat Bamn! a “Crap-O-Matic,” and says it offers “possibly the worst foodstuffs ever offered for human consumption outside a famine zone.” Oh, yeah!

  • The roast pork buns at BAMN! were excellent. I really wanted the spam musubi, but they were out the night I walked past there.
