Wednesday Food News: Early Edition
Bruni two-stars Gordon Ramsay at the London. Echoing the words of others we've heard from around town, he finds conventional French food, well executed. "But the restaurant fails to deliver the most important thing of all," he says. "Excitement."
And Eater puts their money on two stars this week, but their own bet on three. So they sort of get it, but sort of don't.
Also in the Times, Peter Meehan goes to Acasa in Queens for Romanian food. He loves the desserts, and any of the dishes with mamaliga (Romanian polenta). Also manages to use the sphinx mural on the restaurant wall to throw in a Superbowl prediction: the bears will take it.
In the NY Sun, Paul Adams goes to SavorNY for tapas from around the world. Loves the ruben empanadas, the crab Rangoon and the honey mustard. What does he like the most? Savor NYs "sense of leisure."
Steve Cuozzo at the Post laments the relatively short lives of some of the city's Spanish restaurants, but is very happy to find that Ureña has outlived some of its larger, big-money-backed competition, like Barca 18. He urges readers to visit, and describes the suckling pig as so juicy and succulent that "you can drink it."
