The review sounds kinda queer to me.

So Guy is fun to watch. I like triple D. Is this the reason? Just wondering. He finds good food in Omaha, Etc...

a panel of experts — comprised of Star Jones, Donny Deutsch and Dr. Phil — sounded off on Wells’ unrelenting review.

A panel of experts? Culinary experts .... no, a bunch of TV hacks.

Just because there is a famous name on it, doesn’t mean it’s a great place. Like he said himself, he doesn’t personally work there or manage it, he infrequently visits it. His prime interest is in his West Coast restaurants. They could be cooking and serving fried horse turds, with his special sauce, for all he knows. If the food is over rated, either the dim witted NYC residents will eventually cause the place to fail (even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while) or Mayor Bloomberg will find offensive food elements on his menu and close him down.

No normal human really cares. The whole diseased NYC mess is not worth snot.

I think it’s just fine having people I can’t stand watching open up restaurants serving food I’d never eat in a city I truly hate to visit.

It cuts way down on the chances that I’ll find myself in distasteful circumstances.

Ehhhhh.....it was in the New York Times. All four of their readers eat stewed prunes anyway.

Don't like the NYT’s, but thsi review was one of the best I've ever read. Guy has an ego as big as the Grand Canyon, and although his menu offers a big “WOW” factor, it doesn't deliver. Guy is phoning it in and hoping his name will carry him through with mediocre food. It probably will. The restaurant is huge, just like his ego, and the location will ensure a lot of foot traffic from tourists who don't know good food from bad, only that this man is a celebrity. There are a lot of high volume restaurants out there serving crappy food at high prices. They survive for many reasons, and celebrity is but one of many.
