The Inspection Fires are Hot!

Maybe now we'll see some real action on the part of health inspectors at NY restaurants.
Raise your hand if you've lost work because of food poisoning.

So I think Sean Thomas might have chosen the worst combination of name + slogan ever in the history of advertising:

"Sean Thomas, tall, blond and ruddy, and wearing a colorful scarf tied jauntily around his neck, said he had gone to the Coffee Shop each time he visited from London, where he owns a clothing company called White Stuff (slogan: “Lovely Clothes for Lovely People”)."

But then look later in the article:

"Mike Bael, a squat man with frizzy hair in a ponytail, was standing nearby and said: “I’ve always found it to be an incredibly snobbish place. If you look like that guy, you get served fine. My wife and I always get stuck in the back near a bunch of loud families and have to wait forever to get our order taken. The food’s O.K. One time we looked around and all the people with scarves and British accents were in the front.”"

I kind of love this article.

Forgive me, but anyone who goes to a crappy coffee shop restaurant because they saw it on 'Sex and the City' deserves whatever horrific food borne illness they get from eating there.
