Wednesday Food News

Tables for Two and SavoryNY stop by the Russian Tea Room, and Jennifer Leuzzi talks David Chang, Michael Lomonaco and other chefs about their favorites of the year. No matter whose list you look at, (check out Cravings and Snack, for example) A Voce seems to be on it.

Bruni had a busy day over at the Times today. He gave one star to omakase-only Sasabune, proclaiming that "with fish this fine," chef and owner Kenji Takahashi has every right to make his own rules. He also creates his perfect meal of 2006, comprised of dishes from various spots. It starts off with the grilled squid salad at Boqueria, winds its way through L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon and A Voce before landing at The Little Owl for the pork chop, and finishes at Blau Gans for dessert.

Steve Cuozzo visits Itsu and, despite the hype, finds that it's actually just a "fast-food joint."

Hmmm...only 1 star from Bruni for omakase-only Sasabune? Seems odd after reading his review. I would have expected 3 stars not 1 or at worst, 2.

Seems like my type of chef and restaurant. And the Omakase is far cheaper than most in NYC.
