“Restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten is so annoyed by the success of his former Maitre D’ Abbe Diaz’s new tell-all book, he is forcing his employees to sign confidentiality agreements. They were also banned from discussing [the book] at work.” – The New York Post
“Per Variety, ‘Daily Show’ correspondents Jason Jones and Samantha Bee have inked a deal with CBS to write and star in a sitcom about a celebrity chef and the two women who run his empire… [But] it turns out… Abbe Diaz has spent over a year shopping a treatment based on her own book… assuming the producers can find someone fierce enough to play the role of Diaz.” – New York magazine
If you are “anybody who’s anybody” in the NYC fine dining and/or hospitality industries, chances are likely Lana Trevisan needs no introduction.
Yah so, we’ll just add these scenes of her amazing birthday dinner at Hotel Americano last night to our growing collection of memorabilia from all her ridiculously awesome birthday parties.
…We have noticed, over the last week or so, a remarkably large number of Google searches directed toward our site, all looking for information regarding Anne Burrell and her ongoing discrimination lawsuit, using terms such as “Anne Burrell lawsuit,” “Anne Burrell harassment,” and even “scoop Anne Burrell lawsuit,” and “Anne Burrell lawsuit hoax.”

But then Gawker threatened those journalists into NOT accepting the $1,000 offer. Which sorta implies that Gawker must be afraid of something, right?

Quora asks: Have you ever tangled with a famous/powerful person? What was the result?
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, have you ever gotten into a conflict with someone famous? What were the circumstances? What happened exactly? How did you handle it? How did it end?
"Asked to Answer," yay!
Well, I hope I understand what you mean by "tangled," but according to the New York Daily News, I guess I tangled with Gwyneth Paltrow for being such a creep face.

PX This presents THE 4.1.1NSIDER REVIEW
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re getting sick of restaurants. New restaurants, old restaurants, hip restaurants, swanky restaurants, small restaurants, big restaurants, exotic restaurants, all of fucking Graydon Carter’s restaurants– we’ve tried them all, and we are up to our eyeballs in stupid goddamn restaurants already.
Look, we know why you’re here, we know what you want, and as you’re well aware by now, absolutely nobody else knows what they’re talking about quite like we at PX This do. Let’s face it, we’re so official, all we need is a whistle.
So, welcome to the 4.1.1NSIDER, where we’ll keep it brief. Just the facts, Jack. Better than that: just the facts you need. Hell, even better yet: just the facts you need on ONLY the coolest places to go. Wouldn’t it be great if everything in life were this smooth and slick? You’re welcome!

In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re getting sick of restaurants. New restaurants, old restaurants, hip restaurants, swanky restaurants, small restaurants, big restaurants, exotic restaurants, all of fucking Graydon Carter’s restaurants– we’ve tried them all, and we are up to our eyeballs in stupid goddamn restaurants already. One can blog "everything is idiotarded" only so many times.
Look, we know why you’re here, we know what you want, and as you’re well aware by now, absolutely nobody else knows what they’re talking about quite like we at PX This do. Let’s face it, we’re so official, all we need is a whistle.
So, welcome to the 4.1.1NSIDER, where we’ll keep it brief. Really really brief. Hey, you’re an adult, take a look at the photos and you can decide for yourself where to eat. You already know that PX This is verrry discerning; we don’t waste our time going just anywhere.
Besides, there’s a million other outlets where you can read "reviews" written by people who really think they know what’s up but actually wouldn’t know a truly good/ cool/ solid restaurant if it slapped them across the face. If that’s what you wanted, you wouldn’t be here.
