hunting cool hunting

So I was poking around at coolhunting.com and came upon these shorts which I thought were real nice.

THE SHORTS ARE $580.
WTF is wrong with people. That's not cool at all. They're shorts.

Susan Lucci

Yup. I got nominated again. We'll see. It's the strangest year in any industry to be nominated for an award. Per Se will be doing a Bratwurst and Bud special soon enough.

buttermilk channel

I happened to be reading the mini-restaurant review in the March 23rd New Yorker and was pretty intrigued with Buttermilk Channel. So I Google them and the chef is a guy I worked with in San Francisco ten years ago. Crazy how these things work. His name is Ryan Angulo and he's a prince of a fellow.
Apart from that Kevin Bacon moment I really revel in the new hipness of COMMUNITY restaurants. And the place sounds great. Now if I can only apply for a trust fund and move to Park Slope.
