VOSS out? Bad call. VOSS is far from out. It’s definitely the best water product out there and it’s spreading like illegals at Home Depot.

VOSS out huh??? Well I guess it is ok for me to go to a restaurant and pay money for water that is put into a bottle, that has no lid, and then sold to me. All they do with that system is charge you for Pur style water...or add bubbles...therefore it is expensive soda water.

Ill take pure bottled water from Norway any time over being charged for DC’s finest tap water... L’eau du Potomic anyone???

What is the difference between Foie gras and veal? They are both OUT if you eat ethically.

Soon to be In ?? I can only hope: just 0ne or Two Chefs/Restaurants who would happily run a nut-free/egg-free/dairy-free establishment so that when my kid grows up she can actually go to a restaurant. I can always hope. Maybe I’ll open my own! Succulent meats - seasonal fresh amazing veggies - hand-cut fries - fruit smoothies (no yogurt) and plenty of alcohol to make up for the lack of cheese!

Snubbing foie gras?? Right. I will be sure to do my part to make up for the snubbers.

the "in" for 2009 was in over a year ago in NY. and the "out" was out even longer

The grill cheese at founding farmers is one of the most popular menu items at one of the most popular restuarants. Have you guys been out to eat lately

House Bottle Water? You mean kitchen sink water! No thanks, I’ll take a Voss anyday.

"House Bottle Water" - do you mean the supposed filtered / eco friendly water that they make in the kitchen and then expect us to pay $ for...No thank you - If enjoying the best tasting & coolest looking bottled water ever - Voss - is out then i guess I’m out too...

Lets jump of the bandwagon of "sustainable" seafood. I have discovered that it equates to very inexpensive fish (that is overpriced) and needs a ton of sauces to make it edible!

Foie gras snubbing is in, but so is veal? I am confused.

Posted by: Amanda, Feb 04, 2009 07:11:59 AM

I hope everyone jumps on the foie gras snubbing bandwagon. More for me. Salted caramel will never go out of fashion.
