The Seasoning of a Chef
Subtitled My Journey from Diner to Ducasse and Beyond (Broadway Books, $24.95), this book by chef Doug Psaltis is an inside look at what it takes these days to become a chef. Read an excerpt.
Metrazur
Metrazur recently got itself a makeover but we won't back any time soon (by which we mean in this lifetime). Here's what we wrote when it originally opened in winter, 2000: "Metrazur, the train wreck of a restaurant that has pulled into a balcony in Grand Central, has all the charm of a MetroNorth car, the efficiency of the LIRR, the attitude of the Port Authority, and the culinary skill of Amtrak. Well, to be fair, the food is better than Amtrak, but as the evening grinds on, we would have been endlessly grateful for a cardboard box full of microwaved nachos with cheese."
