Quotations from Chairman Bruni

Posted by Ed Levine, April 11, 2007 at 4:00 PM

Every week, New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni comes up with a sentence (or two) or a phrase in his review that's so delicious it deserves a Serious Eats shout-out.

Today's review of E.U. featured the following: "At some point I began to brace for a hailstorm, and to wonder if the locusts would sweep in after that. The E.U. was plagued, on a scale that was almost biblical."

And a bonus closing paragraph for this week:

As a watering hole, the E.U. actually feels charmed, though I articulate that with my fingers crossed (a tough trick when you're typing), and in spite of my parting glance at the restaurant around midnight one busy, noisy, night. I walked out as three grim-faced police officers walked in.

Uh-oh.
