I know, I KNOW

Now don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are folks out there looking out for me, sending emails and what not, but just saying yes, I read this item on Grub Street today, so, thank you. I'll admit I don't know the specifics of the bar project because it's still a "coming soon" kind of thing, but it's been in the works for while. Come on, folks, Johnny Iuzzini was down at Tales for crying out loud. Sure maybe he just really really likes cocktails, but this should've been like the end of The Usual Suspects for some people reading this (links 1 and 2). Anyhow, last I heard, Dave Arnold, director of culinary technology at the French Culinary Institute, is involved. He does all kinds of neato things with tech and molecular stuff so needless to say I'm looking forward to seeing what a place with those two involved is going to be like.
