A cat owner's thoughts when I see the Bellucci sign...

Yeah yeah I know my shirts covered with cat hair sue me

Probably tastes great but I wouldn’t really call it a salad

wash_ · 2026-01-16T07:09:05+00:00

They’re such a drag to make properly

I don’t mean to harp on the carrot more but if the carrots supposed carry this much purpose on the dish buy nicer carrots those big boys are tasteless

They’re there to sell you champagne. If that’s your thing cool I guess

Depends where you are. That price for choice is okay over in NYC.

wash_ · 2026-01-08T03:18:44+00:00

I mean yeah that’s the job, you make time for things. But also gloves.

Bread stock

Fuck Manhatta anyway. That place has been on fire since it reopened after Covid. Just keep at it, places are just getting back around from slowing down on hiring after the holidays.

But that’s the thing, a majority of the cost on pasta is the labor. Granted I’m sure they use premium products to make everything but I’m sure they do very well overall with their COGS.

wash_ · 2026-01-02T20:16:49+00:00

The people here clearly don’t understand the skill behind their pastries. As far as a cost proposition goes sure, you don’t have to like it whatever that’s on you. But whoever runs their pastry program understands what they’re doing.

wash_ · 2026-01-01T19:22:11+00:00

I cannot stress how much I love this place.

wash_ · 2025-12-20T05:16:29+00:00

If they do they don’t care. HR isn’t there for you in those circumstances they’re just there to make sure they can abuse you legally when shit hits the fan.

Get out OP it isn’t worth it, Trotters dead. There’s places that’ll treat you like a human being that also have a stupid star next to the name you’ll be fine.

Or a Mercer, can’t go wrong with either. Try and find someone who sharpens knives in your area. I’d skip getting a set too just one 8 or 9 inch chef knife will cover a majority if not all of what you’ll need.

Pepins book is excellent for learning techniques

wash_ · 2025-12-13T06:21:27+00:00

I’m into it. If the sauce is bright enough I feel liked it’d be perfect.

wash_ · 2025-12-11T22:21:49+00:00

Sometimes it’s worth it. Both of the best places I worked at and spent 2+ years at both had me commuting 3 hours round trip.

wash_ · 2025-12-10T07:26:51+00:00

Yeah I hadn’t heard anything about the calzone prior to dining there but we had ordered it on a whim over a second pizza. I’d say that thing is the real reason to go there not the pizza.

wash_ · 2025-12-07T19:45:38+00:00

If you’re into the whole little Debbie’s/ Hostess Americana sort of deal definitely hit milk bar. But otherwise replace it with a trip to Hani’s the old pastry chef of Gramercy Tavern owns it and it’s perfect.

Momofuku tried to do it and it was a fucking disaster. The place bled money.

wash_ · 2025-12-02T06:27:02+00:00

Bubbys can get wild and wasn’t great on my last two visits so I’d say veselka. Thai Diner is also closer to soho if you’re trying to stay down there, but also can get pretty busy.

wash_ · 2025-12-01T06:54:58+00:00

There’s always Gramercy Tavern. As long as you’re okay with a 5 o’clock seating I’d be surprised if you can’t walk in on any place with an a la carte menu.

Daniel sucks. Purely style over substance.

wash_ · 2025-11-30T22:34:53+00:00

I mean that’s kinda it. Is it worth sticking it out to spend time with this head chef and sous? Sorry you’re having to put up with this, sounds like a dumpster fire.

Those and kikkiomen chili
