that's about 7 bucks for a bowl.

We used to have a Cereality cafe in Chicago. No prices on their menu online. Strangely one of their only two remaining locations is in a hospital.

There a cereal and grilled cheese place here called Crunch and Munch, that seems to be doing quite well. I think they added the grilled cheese option after they started.

We've had a cereal restaurant for years -- https://www.facebook.com/theknoxvillepearl. Only open 7 p.m.-midnight (or later). I think it's mostly a place for underagers to hang out before/after music shows. I went in once around 1 a.m. out of curiosity. I got a bubble tea. The vibe was odd, low-key Lynchy. Took forever to get served, but the bubble tea was pretty good.

There is a little seafood restaurant here that I love (they have $30 all-you-can-eat ENORMOUS delicious king crab legs) that also serves bowls of cereal for some reason. Strange.
― Je55e, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 17:22 (eight years ago) link
I don't think it's that strange. They serve breakfast/brunch, so good to have cereal as an option. It's also a big kid friendly place. Kids like cereal.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 17:43 (eight years ago) link
kinda the stupidest thing in the world to order in a restaurant. feed your kids some cereal before you go to brunch. and then just let them sit there bored while you eat real food.

exceptions for: homemade granola, hot cereals, tiny boxes of cereal in diners.

We were eating dinner at Houseman, a restaurant opened by the chef Ned Baldwin on the once-quiet far-western side of SoHo, now called Hudson Square. It is a spare, welcoming room, with walls of white brick, warm lighting, smooth wooden tables the color of Bridgehampton sand — a neighborhood restaurant for those who live amid art and commerce, who travel widely, who want to eat simply and well.

say what you will, NYT knows the audience for its restaurant feature articles.
those readers who are truly of the upper crust want to look into a flattering mirror that only reflects what they hope others will envy about them. the aspiring middle class readers yearn to imagine themselves in some dim corner of that image. finally, there are the many hate-readers. the times has got them all covered.

But at the risk of undermining my populist credentials, I’d suggest New York could use more Chinese restaurants that are as expensive as our most ambitious French and Italian places.
no worries Pete, your populist credentials are non existent. to be fair he calls for better quality ingredients and more "creativity" from chefs and yeah there is a longstanding NYC assumption that Chinese food should be cheap. but for my money (pun intended) he doesn't bother to document many expensive ingredients (save for lamb loin) here and the creativity seems limited to some Japanese style raw fish starters which, as every other restaurant critic has been saying for 10 years, are a cliche. I love reading about restaurants especially places I can't afford or would never go to but the Times coverage in this area grows more and more effete, exclusive, and (buzz word alert) entitled. This sentence is telling: paying a lot is now "one of the pleasures" of dining out.
― an emotionally withholding exterminator (m coleman), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 15:36 (eight years ago) link
"one of the pleasures" is not a quote from the review, BTW, it's a critical trope I read now in all kinds of reviews

spent some time yesterday reading some of the 1000+ comments about his Per Se downgrade. i don't know why i did that.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 15:43 (eight years ago) link
The lady had dropped her napkin.
More accurately, she had hurled it to the floor in a fit of disillusionment, her small protest against the slow creep of mediocrity and missed cues during a four-hour dinner at Per Se that would cost the four of us close to $3,000. Some time later, a passing server picked up the napkin without pausing to see whose lap it was missing from, neatly embodying the oblivious sleepwalking that had pushed my guest to this point.

― scott seward, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 15:45 (eight years ago) link
oh yeah, I did the same thing. Thought about that review and specifically the napkin anecdote while posting the above. I mean, taking down Per Se is a public service of sorts and for $325 + a pop diners should be treated like royalty but that whole thing with the lady's napkin and the prissy way it's written kinda turned my stomach and made me think fuck all y'all.

Of course it's kind of the weird position of an NYTimes food critic to be (I imagine) just below the line of rich enough to eat in places like that with any regularity, yet to have the expectations of a person who could.
