Who is your favorite New York critic?
Let me see…who reviewed me well [laughing]. Good critics are people who really enjoy food. Steve Cuozzo from the New York Post enjoys food. Bob Lape from Crain’s enjoys food as well. Frank Bruni is…he’s good at his job, but he scrutinizes, because he’s the guy who sets the bar. But you always have to make him happy. I think the bloggers enjoy what they do. Like when the guy form Eater came in, he had a great time. He writes from his heart.
