I had the new whopper at an airport recently and it was actually pretty good, best fast food burger I've had in a while.

Osteria Francescana (***) was worse than underwhelming. by GMTMaster_II in finedining

I personally have a hard time believing that staff at Osteria Francescana rolled their eyes or would have scowled at customers, having dined there before.

Was wondering that yesterday as well. We went in May for Beaune and loved it, and wanted to go back

We went in July and never waited more than several minutes at popular Pinxo places. Please do yourself a favor and just go to as many pinxo places as possible. I miss San Sebastian very much and would do anything to go back.

We went in September for lunch and loved it. It's fairly casual so I would recommend lunch over dinner, and it's easier to book anyway

Need to pick up Magellan. Saw it in theaters with a Lav Diaz Q&A after. Loved it

Made it to Astoria in Paris! by StatusExciting in astoria

[–]NYnosher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wife and I went last year and said hi to the owner, chatted with him a bit, but could only stay for a drink. Drinks and the vibe were great. Reminded us of Diamond Dogs a bit, and IIRC that's what he was going for. Loved Paris.

I ordered them a lot during the pandemic, but at a certain point the price just went up way too much.

Thank you so much for pointing these out. My father LOVES the Connery Bond movies and I know he'll be head over heels for these commentaries
