Snarky, stupid bullshit passed off as reporting. If it sucked, write about why it sucked. Personal vendettas have no place in a newspaper. The writer should be fired. It's opinion, not reporting. He also explained why it sucked if you read the article. He did, but it got lost in his sarcastic diatribe whose purpose was mostly to prove that the writer was hip and a savvy restaurant customer and tv viewer, as opposed to someone who can write with some objectivity. by the time you've become the food critic for the NYT, you really don't have much to prove. Yeah when you get to that level you can take artistic license with a review once in a while and really give someone both barrels. Heres another good review, in case anyone thinks the NYT's review was out of the ordinary for this place. http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2012/09/guy-fieri-american-bar-and-kitchen-new-york-city/ Jimmy Fallon’s Creamsicle
Kris: “If this is what Jimmy Fallon drinks when he goes out no wonder he’s so bad at comedy.” This syrupy sludge was the worst thing that any of us drank

I loved this quote: "Ideally the mojito balances out the rum taste with mintiness and it ends up tasting like a fresher gin and tonic. Guy’s version doesn’t. Instead it uses "Bacardi Artic” (not sure if the spelling error is on purpose) and a blueberry reduction with mint fizz (read: syrup) and a single sprig of mint. It’s overly sweet, like something an Arizona State sorority girl would make for a Sex and the City viewing party." |

You can't expect a restaurant that has a merchandise section to actually have decent food, can you? I mean people don't actually expect quality food at Hard Rock Cafes do they? The food has always been edible and the girls working the bar have always been hot.

There was nothing personal about it. It was about the restaurant. It didn't condemn Fieri as a fat no-talent thief. That would make it personal. |

I ate at the Hard Rock Cancun back when I was 19 years old and on Spring Break from my freshman year in college. This was March 1998. The food was pretty good. Horrendously overpriced, but pretty good. |

In fact, he did say positive things about his foot at other restaurants...sort of |

When I was a teenager we ate out probably 4-5 times a week on average, and my parents like to go to nice places. My mom is an excellent cook but with my dad's business, by the time they were done with work they were both usually too tired to cook. But again, I said "pretty good," not "excellent."

i was there with my sister who lives in NYC - it was okay, expensive for what it is. think planet hollywood, rainforest or all-star cafe...it won't be there long anyways. like someone said, it's like a huge TGI Fridays There's a TGI Fridays, a Hard Rock, and a Red Lobster within a block of this place... it will probably last as long as there are tourists in Times Square |
. I tried a couple of the Nealys and was like
