“Forest for the trees – there is only an audience if someone listens, or in this case, reads. If you aren’t receptive, don’t read on. Free choice darlings, we all have it.”

Umm… Not sure what you mean. Is criticism verboten here? Is there a bigger picture? Enlightenment beckons.

To be honest, after reading this blog I have officially become permanently sickened by all this chef/celebrity, chef/activist, chef/philosopher BS.

Why don’t you get behind a range and bang out orders.

You’d think we were saving the world with all the hype these days.

Local, organic, sustainable bla bla blu. Restaurants waste so much stuff perfecting the look of a plate so that rich white people can crap it out a couple hours later.

Every chef I’ve worked with seems more in love with the idea of being a chef than actually cooking.

Do you honestly believe a line cook is a “locavore” on his days off?

HA HA HA !!!

Besides, if you’d been paying attention, you would realize I was referring to the commenter who called Teo “gauche”.

Seems to be a lot of I strain in this blog, and not a lot of focus on the customers to be. Hope the owner won’t be too lonely snuggled around the horse shoe bar when it finally does open. In these tough economic times it would be good to have a reason for customers to come in and buy a meal, but I guess we can’t really judge that till the stoves get turned on. Hope the customers will be too!

“Parisian romanticism sans restaurant = gauche.”

Wordy, pretentious comments made simply to celebrate one’s own prose = boring

Must be getting close now (again). Really looking forward to nestling in at the horseshoe bar. That place in Paris holds something special for me too. First date with my wife was there. Years later, Teo made the food for our wedding lunch.

Can’t wait for Union to open – I stroll down Ossington now trying to figure out which one it is!!

Not one post in a month made me realise how addicted I grew to your writing! and now that you are about to open the Union, I wish you won’t stop this blog, otherwise we, poor readers living in Paris, won’t even have a web bite of your food…

Sounds like you’re in it for all the right reasons! I hope it’s a success and am very much looking forward to the opening.
