Forbes quoted Mario Batali as comparing bankers to Stalin and Hitler. Now that the suits won’t be snapping up Mario’s tables it should be easier to snag a table.
One financial institution “has sent a memo to employees that it will not honor receipts from BABBO or a Batali establishment” and that another group has “canceled all of their reservations for the remainder of the year.”
Not a good move, I would say.

Eataly is a mega-Italian-food-destination in NYC, a collection of many dining, or produce venues that are intended for sale to take home, in the sprawling food-hall complex, which one of the founders, Mario Batali, prefers to call “food temple”. Eataly—what a weird name—is somewhat overwhelming at first, until you become acclimatized to the hustle & bustle of the carnival-like atmosphere of the “super” supermarket.
Expect that Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Toronto and Mexico City, in any order, will be getting Eataly locations over the next ten years.

Sala Daeng Soi 2, is behind Silom Complex, 081-919-1233 or 081-814-9547. Open Mon-Sat 6-9:20am, 10am-1:30pm. You have a choice of one of two noodles and you may also ask for Yen Ta Fo with or without soup.
Yen Ta Fo is a type of pink tofu, it actually appears more red than pink to me, and is given its color and slightly sour taste by the addition of pickled red beans into the mixture. This food cart offers the dish exclusively, with or without soup, and your choice of two types of noodles. It is very good! In fact, this dish is one, if not the best version in this part of the city. It is run by an elderly man who is at the helm tending his noodles every day that the stall is open.
These are two completely different films with entirely different messages but both are worth your time.
Farmageddon
Nov 04 – Nov 06 (Kristin Canty, 2010, USA, Bluray, 86 min) http://nwfilmforum.org/
Americans’ right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. This film tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, Farmageddon highlights the urgency of food freedom, encouraging farmers and consumers alike to take action to preserve individuals’ rights to access food of their choice and farmers’ rights to produce these foods safely and free from unreasonably burdensome regulations.
The LA Times called it, “An eye-popping wake-up call revealing how the USDA and FDA have increasingly waged war on America’s small farmers even when they can prove they are contributing healthful products to our food supply.
The Bride Wore Black
Jeanne Moreau
Directed by Francois Truffaut
In François Truffaut’s 1968 “The Bride Wore Black,” which begins a New York run this week and will then play in many other cities. Truffaut is sometimes viewed as a relative lightweight among the company of big-name ’60s and ’70s European directors, and there’s no doubt his work is uneven. What begins as a French cinephile’s almost obsessive tribute to Alfred Hitchcock becomes progressively weirder and wittier. Jeanne Moreau as the ultimate femme fatale heroine in this knife-twisting tale of murderous revenge and unexpected romance, “The Bride Wore Black” is well worth rediscovering.

Drink it neat or with a little water. Previously, it was used as a blending whisky in Cutty Sark, a blend I find too light, and Famous Grouse a blend I really enjoy.
Giraffas is a fast food operation that has been around about 30 years in Brazil and is about to make an entrance into the American market soon – Miami first. Yes, they do have hamburgers, salads and the like with additions that are not so familiar to the American fast food scene: The Brazilian Selection which includes a steak, black beans, rice and a sauce piquant, also Stroganoff. Brazilians dislike eating with their hands so the dishes are always served with utensils so that they won’t have to use their hands, and they also frown on boxes, so plates are the thing!
