Because we live nearby and there aren't a ton of good restaurants I welcome Kutsher's. On the other hand, Chodorow has a crummy rep and is a businessman-not a food guy-who landed in the restaurant biz (see obsession with niche joints).

The menu looks pretty good, but tough nabe for places. And how many times are you gonna crave upscale deli food.

Outlook? I give it between 12 and 18 months.

Thoughts?
