So you've probably just forgotten that Pearl's has served lobster pot pie, potato galettes and smoked fish salads on and off through the years. I know. I've been a regular, regular since they opened in 1997. Ed is not serving anything that he didn't learn at Pearl. I went there the other night to wish him well but I couldn't. From its grey wainscoting to the style of its wine list to every single item on the menu (except the calamari), it is a clone of Pearl's. I mean a total rip off just like the Fish Camps; although also like Mary's, not nearly as good. It's so funny to read food writer's comparisons between the food at Pearl's to that of the Fish Camps, and now Ed's. It tips their hand that they really don't know anything about the NYC food scene since the owners of both places just stole an entire menu from their former boss! Which lobster roll is better? The joke's on them! They're all Rebecca's!</p>
