Comme Ca Brunified, Day II
Friday, February 29, 2008
Frank Bruni, back at Comme Ca. Yesterday he waited, today he solves the mystifying paradox of thin, supple bodies consuming hearty, fatty food: "This person oohs and aahs to excess over the existence of incredibly decadent dishes on the menu; orders the most decadent one; makes a big flurrying show of utensil movement, doing lots of vigorous (and calorie-burning?) cutting and forking and spooning. But when you look closely at this person’s plate as it’s being removed, you realize that most of the food is still there; it’s just a jigsaw-like Picasso of its former form.” [Diner's Journal]
