'Cake Bible' Author Rose Levy Beranbaum Charged $25 'Forkage' Fee at The Breslin
Just realized it didn't read the "" so I am missing an emoticon above --> (sorta like smuggling American Cheese into the Spotted Pig. ;))
'Cake Bible' Author Rose Levy Beranbaum Charged $25 'Forkage' Fee at The Breslin
@mongoose That $16 tart is savory. If they had ordered dessert, they'd have had forks, and could have discreetly dug into the cake they brought in. (sorta like smuggling American Cheese into the Spotted Pig. ) And I imagine if they'd ordered even one dessert or even coffee, it would have gone a long way to ameliorating the situation.
I'm a big fan of her books, but I'm with the Breslin on this. The restaurant missed out on revenue because they did not order dessert or coffee yet continued to occupy a table in the middle of a busy lunch to eat food they brought with them. She does not deserve special treatment because she's a baking "celebrity." That she is a baking "celebrity" or in the "food community" as she puts it, she should know how this works - calling first, plate charges, etc. And then to vindictively vent on her blog without first (it seems) privately seeking resolution of the matter, shows a lack of professionalism.

This sounds ridiculously good. I've been craving Prime Rib, so was scouring menupages yesterday for places that serve it - this might even be better. Thanks for this tip!

My first thought on the photography issue was the heightened security in and around the GCT complex generally, of which the Naples 45 building is a part.
