Did anyone call them "animals"?

can we combine this with the pants off subway ride?

"Mmmm, this is good Foie en Brioche."
"Funny story, earlier today I saw a bum pissing on a train just like this. Right where you were sitting, in fact."

I guess this is the logical next step in the city. Keeping a restaurant open is tough work, so if that's too much for you, just cook where it's cheapest and unregulated, then make it seem chic.

And these guys deserve a beating if even one raspberry was left rolling around the train. Or is the double-standard applying here? If someone eats a burrito, they're an animal. If a group of "food artists" do it, it's perfectly fine and should be encouraged. That's what we should take from this, John?

I actually think this is kind of neat really, it's interesting and creative, and while it costs a lot, considering the ingrediants food wise, and the heklp ( unless they were volunteers, and thus idjiots), $100 seems like it may be about right, though perhaps not, as their over-head was presumably just the cost of a token, er, metrocard. I would maybe pay for it f I had $ to throwaway on indulgent and interesting expieriences. Right now I dont. WHo the hell are those people who did?

It's not creative. It's a desperate plea for attention, and an inconvenience to others.

Despite all the whining here, it sounds pretty delicious...

Gold leaf?! What is this, a 1980's power lunch? Here, eat some shiny stuff that has no smell or taste or texture. Or is it locally harvested gold?

...but I guess that makes sense if you look at the food you eat as a fashion statement, which is 100% not delicious.

wow. ramps are now both the new thing, and already getting old, huh? kinda shows the depth of your interest and the length of your attention span.

"Only" $100? For six tiny portions. And which one of those six courses you listed represents the tiny piece of toast that are being served out in the picture on the right? I imagine the "petit" filet mignon was about the size of a sugar cube.

How do we let people get away with nonsense like this in todays economy? Are the no lamp-posts, are there no guillotines? Are the no walls to put people up against?

lol did you see the size of that shit in the first pic? seriously? that qualifies as a portion?

And of course, they just HAD to serve "ramp" -- a new arugula for a new decade, I guess.

haha yeah. the ramp thing is getting old.

Ramps are in season for a limited time and cannot be cultivated, so it will be over shortly. No need to get all ornery over a vegetable.

Typical stupid and unsanitary hipster bullshit.

I can think of something else that's typical here.

Sounds like someone needs to be served a heapin' helping of dickpunch.

Lots of folks like to complain about lots of behavior in this forum: cyclists, motorists, urban farmers, etc. For the most part, I do believe in live and let live. Wanna raise bees on your roof while not interfering with anyone else's enjoyment of the day (disclosure: I am raising bees), go ahead, have a ball. Wanna ride a fixed-gear bike in skinny jeans while sporting and ironic beard and wearing a tote bag, no matter how much of a wuss you look(no, not me)? Go ahead. But this behavior, this insistence on forcing yourself and your need for attention on others, is something I do find tragic. Have a dinner party, entertain your guests, but stay the f*ck off the train, dears.

All the shit you guys complain about is what makes New York, New York. You can go to any city/town/village in the world and have a dinner party.

Nice try. I've also used that line on other threads. Allow me to carve out a distinction here. What we're complaining about is that this ISN'T New York. It's just plain stupid. New Yorkers aren't known for stupidity. This really is some transplant bullshit.

A pile of shit that's left in a subway station going uncleaned by Subway workers for days on end. That's nasty. THAT's New York.
