Tidbits

  • Hate airport food? Well, if you're flying out of JFK, they've just opened a Balducci's in Terminal 2. We're also partial to the Cibo Express in Terminal 6, pictured at right. [New Yorkology]
  • What happens when you mix chefs, booze, fire, and egos? A mess, some broken glass, and an accidental stabbing. Seems that Marco Pierre White was demonstrating a flaming Sambuca trick to Mario Batali, Tony Bourdain and others at the Spotted Pig when things went awry. [NY Post]
  • Herring, herring, and more herring. 'Tis the season at The Oyster Bar and Aquavit. [Eat for Victory]
  • Ruth Reichl decides that Grom is worth the wait. [Choptalk]
  • It may not be the Fatty Crab, but Zak Pelaccio and Jeffrey Chodorow are teaming up to open a Malaysian coffee house, Kopi Tiam, on the Upper West Side. [Grub Street]
  • Jason Denton opens up about his new endeavor: "1. This will most certainly not be an Otto-style restaurant. 2. There is no wood burning oven. 3. Though there might be Salumi, it will not be a main focus of the restaurant. 4. A name has not been decided upon." [Eater]

Yeah, flying out of JFK... 2 sandwiches + 2 drinks > $20. Bite me Balducci's.

At long last, Balducci's admits what everyone else has known all along: the food there belongs with all the other low-quality high-price crap that you can buy at airports.
