I've made the mistake of eating at Palo Santo twice. The first time I was a bit put off by the ridiculous price to serving size ratio of some of the dishes. The second time I ordered a boar tenderloin entree, was told they were out and were substituting regular pork tenderloin and was served something that was so riddled with sinew and silver skin that it could only be pork shoulder that was cut to resemble a piece of tenderloin. They gave me a friggin steak knife with the meal and I still couldn't cut into it. Gautier is a cheapskate fraud. It's too bad he's associated with this venture as there is no BBQ in Park Slope right now. I'll be waiting for the Dinosaur BBQ to open down the street.

With Milk!

Girl Slice is correct on all points, but I would add one more. It's a freaking pigsty in there. Trash all over the tables and floor. Dirty floors. Just gross. And the thing is, if the pizza were really good I could ignore all that. The best meal I had during to a three week trip to Africa was in a Tanzanian nyama choma bar which literally had rats crawling up the walls. But that nyama choma kicked ass so I didn't care. DiFara's is just a burnt, oily disaster of a pie so the generally filthiness of the place is just one more reason not to go.

That bun looks ridiculously big.

Yeah, and you should have named yourself maitake.

West Indian food from the back of a pick up truck in Christiansted, St Croix.

Meat to bun ration looks bad.

Can we never hear about Josh Ozersky again, please? Not only is chiffonte right that he is an "egotistical blowhard", but he also makes statements that are just dumb. He wants to drink coffee with burgers not because it would be a delicious combination, but because he thinks it's "secret, and precious, and conspiratorial". I have no idea what the hell that means, but I imagine it's poetic license for "cool". Is that really what this sight is about? Eating things that are cool, regardless of taste or craft?

Watching the game at home. Give me burgers so I can have people over!

"We fell into a lengthy discussion about whether this dish represented an Asian take on jambalaya or whether jambalaya is actually the Creole version of fried rice."

Umm, how about neither.
