Letters to the Editor

Food slut People say great food is like great sex. But after two years of reviewing trendy restaurants, chatting with charming chefs, and indulging in fatted duck breast, I've lost my appetite. By Ann Bauer [2006-01-02]

• Snotty Little Tick

  Harri, dear, a couple of things. First, there's nothing wrong with waxing snotty about another writer's abilities, but if your comments are to have any authority you had better be able to demonstrate some serious chops of your own. Sadly, you don't have them.

  Second, I'm sure you imagine your handle to be the height of wit. Unfortunately, it is both yesterday's joke and wrongly spelled: If you really want to tweak those clueless rubes who don't kow the French for "green bean," you'll want to spell the surname "Covair," so their tiny little pois-brains can sound it out phonetically.

  Not to worry, though, I'm sure your killingly elegant prose-style will protect you from ever getting fired. Absolutely. And listen, no foam on that latte, ok?
