Now you eat it, now you don't
Top Chef host and Craft owner Tom Colicchio is opening a new restaurant -- kind of.
Christopher Kelly
Word out of New York is that Top Chef cost Tom Colicchio will be opening a new restaurant -- kind of.
According to the New York Times, the restaurant will only be open once a week and will appear and then disappear from locations throughout the city.
"Reservations will be taken by telephone six weeks in advance, and the price of the meal ($150 to $250 depending on the menu) will have to be prepaid with a credit card. Menus will only be announced about a week before each meal; they will be posted on a website, tomtuesdaydiner.com"
Frankly, mewonders if Mr. C.'s celebrity has gone to his head, because this sounds like the most pretentious dining idea I've ever heard.
It did, however, get me to thinking about all the restaurants around town which I wish would just magically disappear for six days out of the week, such as the bizarrely overrated La Duni in Dallas, and that place I had lunch at in Fort Worth a few weeks ago that seriously needs to be firebombed.
