NEW YORK (AP) - One of the city's most prominent restaurateurs took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times on Wednesday, accusing the newspaper's chief food critic of lacking the bona fides to do the job.
"Your readers would not expect your drama critic to have no background in drama or your architecture critic to not be an architect," Jeffrey Chodorow wrote. "For a publication that prides itself on integrity, I feel your readers should be better informed as to this VERY IMPORTANT fact, so they can give your reviews the weight, or lack thereof, they deserve."
The ad comes on the heels of Frank Bruni's scathing review of Chodorow's newest Manhattan eatery, Kobe Club, which specializes in serving tender and fatty Kobe beef from Japan. A 10-ounce rib-eye portion of the beer-fed cattle costs $150 on Chodorow's menu.
