At Play 03.08.07

So...perusing the back of today's Tribune At Play...on Chinatown. What? Where's Lao Sze Chuan? They breakdown cuisines by region and no Sichuan? Wha? Huh?

Also, Robin Mather Jenkins on Smoque: man, she has no business reviewing food and this is just the latest misapprehension...paraphrased, "Texas bbq sauces are ketchupy, thick, and sweet." Um...that'd be Chicago-style(and supermarket) bbq sauce. Jeezus. Texas bbq sauce is thin...sweeter than Memphis-style...but also typically has a peppery bite the better to pair with brisket. Urgh...she can't publish a piece w/o something getting my Irish up.

Monica Eng! Monica Eng!

But a shout out to Rob Gardner for his contributions to the article. Yeah, there are some noteworthy omissions, but at least Monica sought out LTH expertise. Nice going, VI!

well, obviously I like Monica Eng's reportage...the LSC omission is a bit of a headscratcher...of course...a handful of other definitely under-reported restaurants got mentioned so it's not all bad...
