Would You Date These Desperate Chefs and Barkeeps?

It's not easy maintaining a healthy relationship when you're fully immersed in the not-so-healthy restaurant and bar industry. So Time Out NY has come to the rescue this week, highlighting personal ads from local chefs, bartenders and club owners who are on the prowl. Anita Lo (pictured), chef and co-owner of Bar Q, is attracted "to pretty girls" and wants "someone who eats everything." Alex Day, a bartender at fussy cocktail lounge Death & Company, gets points for being totally upfront about his twee attire: "I wear a tie and vest or suspenders six nights a week—you can’t work in this part of the industry without being a little bit of a dandy." And Matthew Roff, who co-owns Southpaw and Public Assembly, likes "girls who know how to fucking drive." Go get 'em, fast drivin', big eatin', Wes Anderson fans!

is attracted "to pretty girls" and wants "someone who eats everything."

Not to generalize, but isn't that what being a lesbian is all about?

Not if Cynthia Nixon is any kind of example!

No, longacre that's what being bi-sexual is all about.

Anita Lo makes some pretty darn good food. A girl who eats everything (and, you know, is into other girls) could do a lot worse.

Haha - "a pretty girl who eats everything" - best lesbian double entredre I've heard yet! Is that you JDS or did she actually say that?

I remember on NYCTV that Anita Lo was in a committed relationship. Too bad. She was her business partner too.
