Burger Kitchen fiasco/Blogger ethics
Here's what I take away from this entire situation. Damon is a writer and blogger of enormous integrity, as many of the commenters have pointed out. He was attempting to be fully transparent with the post. That said, I think Kitchenista is spot on here. At this point another Burger Kitchen review from Damon probably wouldn't serve much purpose or shed any more light on what's going on there. I for one would love to hear what our community thinks of the new burgers there (or the old ones for that matter), though I understand some people might be reluctant to pay more than $25 for a burger, even if it comes for a limited time only with fries and a beer. I happen to be a fan of the Black Label burger at the Minetta Tavern, but it is a special treat I will treat myself to a couple of times a year.
Totale Pizza: Is There Such A Thing as Budget Artisanal Pizza?
This just in (actually it came in at 11:55 a.m. est.): Totale co-owner Eli Halali e-mailed me to say that his pizzas are 12" in diameter, and not 10" as I reported. I just flat out got it wrong. My apologies to everyone. Halali also wanted everyone to know that the air conditioning at Totale is now working. Pizza blogger, feel free to recalculate. We are updating the review to reflect this info.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 124: Eating Hell Week Strategies
No need to get bogged down in an ankle weight controversy. I have too many joint-related problems for ankle weights, I think. I'm just happy I got through Hell Week relatively unscathed.

Last bite on earth: Gus' World Famous Fried Chicken, some awesome fries, a few hush puppies, and some piping hot biscuits
I love Keen's. Last week I had a seriously delicious steak salad in Keen's pub room, which is less expensive than the main dining room, and just as atmospheric and idiosyncratic. This week I had Keen's crazy delicious burger in the same room, which comes with really good fries, though they are very gracious about substituting a vegetable for the fries. Long live Keen's!
