Some chefs are trying crowd-pleasing gambits. At Harbour in New York, executive chef and partner Joe Isidori, who earned a star in the 2009 Michelin guide while cooking at DJT in Las Vegas, will cook Sunday brunch — a meal many top chefs consider beneath them — and will make things like fried catfish sandwiches for take-out lunches.

The comments on this article are surprisingly coherent. Bravo AJCers!
I’m not quite sure how I feel about assisted suicide as I’ve never had loved ones in situations that would warrant such a hard decision to be made, but I certainly do not think those who help should be arrested and imprisoned.

From my brother: Fifty questions I'd like to see...
Good questions, can’t say that I’m not an egomaniac myself though…
1. Do you curse inanimate objects for not working properly or immediately or for getting in your way? 2. After you finish a book do you usually go around telling people it’s your favorite? 3. Do you say “Awww” at cute commercials or laugh at all the funny ones? 4. Do you use the words...
How much is your moral outrage worth to you?
spiegelman:
Three of the most archaic laws still on the books come with substantial opportunity costs that can be measured in dollars:
1) Ban on Marijuana. By keeping pot illegal, we’re wasting money keeping non-violent felons in overcrowded jails, and depriving the state of billions in tax revenue.
2) Death Penalty. It is more expensive for the state to execute a felon than to provide a...

INTERNET EXPLORER FUCKING SUCKS. Using it at work right now (just to play around, I’m here to answer phones for 4 hours), and pretty sure I shouldn’t install Firefox as this is not my computer, but good God do I want to. Nothing works right! Tumblr is wonky, my Google Reader is wonky, new links open new browsers not new tabs, I mean seriously, who uses IE? Ugh.
White whine I guess.

Oysterfest
tastypiesinc:
I just realized there are two Oysterfests in midtown this year.
One is being thrown this weekend by Steamhouse Lounge (the traditional home of Oysterfest) featuring performances by The Sundogs, Unzipt, Swami Gone Bananas, State of Man and Justin with Dean Dollar, Magic Hat, The Issue, Pink Steel and Ménage et Trois. The other is going to be at Park Tavern next weekend and feature...
Referring to my comment that Chris Brown is scum.
What is this? A champion of gender equality pushing for a double standard? The reports are that she hit him first. If that is true, and she resorted to physical violence first, then in a world of gender equality how could he be any more wrong than she was for hitting him?

I am so glad layaway is back.

You Are Causing Trouble Now.
Totally Anti-Tumblr, Proven Smart Business Person’s Take (aka, My Republican Boyfriend): Are they playing favorites? That seems to be inadvisable. The whole liberal bullshit of being open-minded goes against this whole thing. So they adore Obama but they see this as an option? Free speech and freedom and a consideration for the little guy means zero to them? Baby, just admit you’re a...
As a non-attorney person...
I feel there is little I can say and have it taken with more than a simple, single grain of salt. But I am utterly disgusted. I am currently off the grid on vacay but as I can’t quit you Tumblr, I am online pretty often on my time “away.” Yesterday, I saw a few posts referring to the censorship nonsense and seriously thought nothing of it. Coincidence? Unfortunate bullshit? I...
