The Nasty Bits

Posted by on June 14 at 16:04 PM

Last night’s Anthony Bourdain dinner at Union was rife with local food luminaries, miraculous and obscenely bountiful food from his Les Halles Cookbook, and groping. I came away with the twin gifts of a copy of his new book, The Nasty Bits, and a monumental hangover. The man himself: all velvety brown eyes, cushy-looking lips, and dirty one-liners. Indeed: hot. More in next week’s paper.

Someone said Licorous, the new lounge-adjunct of Lark, is at last open on 12th and is lovely.

No one said anything about the new vegetarian place around the corner from the Stumbling Monk. It is called, most unfortunately, the Healthy Hedon.

Incredibly, at the noon U Bookstore reading Bourdain couldn't recall the name of the restaurant he was being taken to that night.

And why Union? They make the kind of chi chi food Bourdain despises.

Better bet would have been Cremant.

Note to Healthy Hedon [sic]: It's kind of helpful to post your hours of operation, either on your website or on a sign in your restaurant.
Regardless, I look forward to experiencing your "vegetarian decadence."
