Eater on the Co. Shitstorm

Posted by Adam Kuban, January 9, 2009 at 1:35 PM

Anyone not following the insanity in the comments of this post on Slice would do well to check them out. Here's Eater's take on the "Co.ntroversy":

It's a week old. A restaurant that opened over a year late after incredible build up on the blogs and the papers, with an owner and an investor who are much revered and well known in the food industry, was bound to be under siege upon opening. Wait it out, and eventually, the crowds will settle, the bad service staff will be culled, and the dough will be made in the right quantities. Hopefully. And if we were Jim Lahey, we'd be saving a pie for JGV too.

And, thanks, Eater, for recognizing the inanity of one of the most egregious claims in that thread.

You guys should be thrilled that a pizzeria is causing such a fuss and attracting big crowds with foodie cred. In the Dallas area we've had nearly 75 restaurants close in this crappy economy - all of them independents. Our restaurant just made the list of Top Ten New Restaurants in the Dallas Morning News and we had people complaining that a "pizza joint" shouldn't be included on the list. Oh well...can't please everyone :). I wish I could get to Co. and Motorino - or at least had the choice.
