And a blatantly transparent one as well. Richman’s latest “critique” is about Brasserie Les Halles, a midtown Manhattan restaurant famous mostly for its association with Anthony Bourdain. Richman’s review is, shall we say, petty, as he happily claims to bust a hostess lying to him and his companion and ripping on Bourdain who hasn’t cooked […]

Damn it, is there anything Ann Arbor can do right? Cool business? Check. Favorite place at which townies and student alike hang out? Check.
