pretty rough throughout (though amusing), but I particularly enjoyed the final zinger:

SERVICE The well-meaning staff seems to realize that this is not a real restaurant.

He's this guy.

He is on the Food Network and likes to be totally awesome and make hot dogs awesome. Totally rock and roll.

Post by: mango on November 15, 2012, 03:15:55 PM: And Guy Fieri responds: "Times went overboard" (http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2012/11/guy-fieri-responds-to-restaurant-review.html).

And then, in an awkward turn of events, it's revealed that the day the actual review dropped in print, NYT staff held a party at Guy Fieri's restaurant (http://www.thebraiser.com/guy-fieri-nyt-staff-party/):

The New York Times now confirms the event: “The Times ad sales department hosted an event for clients at the restaurant last night. The event was planned two months ago.”
