Great Moments in Journalism: There's No Way We Could Do Better Than "Ooh la la"
Great Moments in Journalism depends upon the submissions of readers who blah blah blah, send us your goddamn nominees, people, we're dying over here.
Today's bit comes from the world of restaurant criticism, which, if Frank Bruni alone is any guide, should be providing us with much more material. This one is of somewhat more ancient vintage than we'd prefer (i.e., beginning of August) but it's too good not to share. In any event, Donna Hale of the Indianapolis Star visits Restaurant du Soleil at the Conrad Hotel. How was it?
The menu is limited, which I think is always a good sign. Too many restaurants offer too many items, and that sometimes means a sacrifice of quality for quantity.
The menu has many words in French, my undergraduate minor. But it's been a while, so I asked a waitress for a few interpretations. It's lucky I did. Otherwise I might have accidentally ordered goose liver pate as an appetizer.
Reading the whole thing will cost you, since it's archived, but treat yourself. While you're there, look around. Were you aware that Indiana had a Fringe Festival? Jesus Christ, even the Midwest is as fucking lame as New York now.
