Education Op: The Ins and Outs of Food Blogging
Is it really only one hour? The page with all the classes listed says 1:30 to 2:30, but the booking system shows it as 1:30PM to 3:30 PM.
Win Two Passes to the Big Apple Barbecue Party
Dude. Corky's BBQ in Memphis, TN is the closest I've come to BBQ nirvana. I could eat Corky's for the rest of my (admittedly, it would be quite short) life, and be happy.
Within NYC, I really enjoy the pulled pork sandwich at Daisy May's, and their cart is conveniently located near work!

Last bite on earth:
I think her point is that the actions of her ex-employees directly attack her bottom line.
Having an employee open a new restaurant? Totally ok.
Having an employee open a copycat restaurant in, say, Washington D.C.? A little annoying, but hey, that's entrepreneurship.
Heck, if Ed had opened his restaurant on the UES instead, or in Park Slope, maybe even then it'd be a different matter.
Fact is, he took her entire concept: the types of dishes served + the general atmosphere + little bitty details like the same types of chairs and bartop, then opened a restaurant near enough to directly pull business away from Pearl.
Yes, other people use marble-topped bars. Yes, other people serve lobster rolls. Yes, other people have straw-backed chairs and whatnot. (and so on for all sorts of decor and food details) But how many of those people have all those things, in combination, in one restaurant, in NYC, within spitting distance of Pearl?
