We Asked, You Answered: Charlie Rose's West Village Boite Revealed
Yesterday we pointed you to an Underground Gourmet tale of woe involving a long-anticipated roast chicken dish that was inexplicably re-routed to Charlie Rose, right in front of the UG's salivating eyes. The UG left the restaurant unnamed, only referring to it as a "favorite West Village boite." Several of you weighed in, but we're still not convinced that any of the guesses were correct. We'd love to finger Graydon Carter's Waverly Inn as the culprit—Amish Organic Free-Range chicken is on the menu—but it seems too new to be referred to as a favorite. And it's not really a boite, is it? Others blamed celeb-happy gastropub Spotted Pig, but this doesn't seem quite right to us either. For one thing, no roasted chicken on the dinner menu. Second, is Charlie Rose enough of a celebrity that he'd get special treatment at the Spotted Pig? Seems unlikely. So where else could it be? Let us know.
