i am mad/sad i dont get to meet slocki

I (personally) find Chowhound and eGullet to be better informed, more refined and cultured (less "oh they speak English here, praise the lord!"), not to mention similar to my tastes than any mainstream mags.

Not sure if you're willing to go the e-foodie route (as yes it is scary) but worth a peak at the very least. Vast amounts of information and the discussion stays current (chefs leaving, ownership/recipes changing), another advantage.

aww it'll happen one day (xp)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

steve i'm totally into the e-foodie route, i use those sites a lot here. fuck, e-gullet people can be such bitches though... i tried to join once but they wanted me to write an ESSAY on why i deserved to be a member... no joke

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:20 (nineteen years ago)

no wai

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:21 (nineteen years ago)

wai dude. it's cuz i didn't want to pay but i wanted to respond to something someone (actually a critic from another paper) said about a piece i wrote!!

probably a good idea i didn't!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:25 (nineteen years ago)

i read that ny magazine cheap eats link above and can attest that of the those i know, at least two of the 5 star cheap eats are pretty expensive. the 4 star picks are promising though.

― fongoloid sangfroid (sanskrit), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

ha probably.

hey did you ever get a chance to go to Queue de Cheval? Out of curiosity, how does it rate in the "Top X restaurants" polls?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

i still have never been! although to be honest i think the consensus is that QDC isn't worth the mad mad cash

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

*not expensive relative to le bernardin, of course. which i guess is what they were going for. xpost

― fongoloid sangfroid (sanskrit), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

Of the NY Cheap Eats list, I've been to three of the restaurants:
I rated Momofuku 3 stars (average food), with 1 star solely for being open after 11pm. It's not cheap either. If you're resourceful, you can do much better than this!
Shake Shack - it was pretty good. Not much of a line on the day I went. 4 stars.
Katz - it's a classic, 4 stars.

With Momofuku ranking so high, I'm immediately skeptical... Yikes.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

the "cheap eats" designation is really questionable for a lot of their choices. steve's right - you'll do a lot better by checking chowhound, though the ny mag issue could be good as an address book.

get off the NY balls

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:08 (nineteen years ago)

Ev, I hope you do! Will be awes.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

cutty, what do you mean when you say "NY balls"?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

it's like that new yorker cover, except the rest of the world begins at cutty's taint.

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

LOL.

used to swear by Chowhound but (A) they have the worst website design ever and (B) too many restaurants are declared "over" / "fallen off" that I still think are good .... so I don't go there much anymore ...

Momofuku is expensive for ramen but cheap for as good a meal as that, IMO. Pork buns / chicken buns are legit.

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

chowhound has recently improved its website design... gah i hated those threaded threads.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i was thinking of hitting momofuku.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

what's this about a virgin

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 01:10 (nineteen years ago)

There are no virgins in NYC.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 01:12 (nineteen years ago)

I spend a lot of time in one on 14th St.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 02:15 (nineteen years ago)

I think he was looking for cinema gold, not Gen Y childhood nostalgia.

I linked to this previously:

Also, there's a Danish crime trilogy:

i had the dvd for pusher 3 in my hands last month but i gave it to another writer! those are supposed to be really good though huh.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, which makes me hesitant...

The programming here is adventurous, but who knows if any of it is good:
