Truth is Blind

  • Which (somewhat deluded) renowned restaurant group that recently found itself the target of a class-action wage-dispute lawsuit, is soon to come under fire again? This time the charge is sexual harassment, the details of which are forthcoming shortly. Unfortunately, it could be right around the time the alleged defendant is vacationing... Read More »

Hello from Tokyo!

So yesterday, PX This handed the keys to the web-blahg over to our truculent obstreperous friend— who ended up taking it for a joyride and dangerously drunk-blogging. Don’t you hate it when that happens? It was kind of great fun, though. Maybe we should do it more often! Anyway, in case you missed it, there was a whole lot of ranty ranting... Read More »

MY rant.

MY rant. Hey, did you see this? It’s Steve Cuozzo "ranting" about how no "good restaurants" opened in 2010. And then Keith McNally "ranted" in retaliatio… zzzzZZZzzzzzzzZZZzzz…   Huh, wha–? Sorry, I dozed off for a second there. Oh yeah, I was just about to rant my rant in retaliation to... Read More »

Cellar Notes -by Aris

Matua Valley – Sauvignon Blanc – 2008, Marlborough, New Zealand

Cost: app. $16 to $18 / bottle One of the hidden gems in the world of dry white wines can easily include the sauvignon blanc, and New Zealand is well known for producing fine examples. This Matua Valley was quite simply… awesome. This is crisp, light to medium-bodied,... Read More »

Jean Georges Enterprises… [UPDATE]

  Uh oh: "A former cook at celeb chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s JoJo Restaurant said she had to endure heaping helpings of sexual harassment… Arlene Keith says she went to work as a meat cook… and was subjected to vile, sexually explicit remarks and advances by another cook… When the alleged victim complained... Read More »

RATATOUILLE writer: big PX This fan!

  GREATEST HITS: theForum@px.this PX This hereby presents The Forum’s Greatest Hits, a thread-by-thread archive of the most fascinating discussions from

Producer Zainab Jah and director Tim Naylor are currently in pre-production for the first eight-episode season of PX This, created and co-written by Abbe Diaz, the "former maitre d' to the stars." The new web series is based on Diaz's [book] by the same title...
Producer Jah had heretofore intended to keep the project under wraps... until last week, when, on October 14th, 2008, she discovered an article in Variety... It seems CBS has just signed a development deal with
Jason Jones and Samantha Bee (The Daily Show) to pen an as-yet-unnamed series about the "behind the scenes world of a celebrity chef... and the two women who run his cooking empire."
The series treatment for PX This (registered with the WGA on December 7, 2007) which has been making the rounds of several Hollywood agencies, is strikingly and undeniably similar to CBS's as-yet-unwritten concept.
"We are still hesitant to provide all the details," says Jah, "but do feel... proud to divulge some of the names involved," which include...
Michael Imperioli, Steven R. Schirripa, John Ventimiglia (The Sopranos), and producer Brian Grazer...

"...will debut on PX This's site mid next year, assuming the producers can fine someone fierce enough to play Diaz. We can't wait to see how they cast the character that's 'loosely based' on Jean-Georges." - New York Magazine
