Meanest Restaurant Review Ever

It's in the New York Times, and it's a review of television star Guy Fieri's new Time Square restaurant. Here's a taste...

Why is one of the few things on your menu that can be eaten without fear or regret — a lunch-only sandwich of chopped soy-glazed pork with coleslaw and cucumbers — called a Roasted Pork Bahn Mi, when it resembles that item about as much as you resemble Emily Dickinson?

When you have a second, Mr. Fieri, would you see what happened to the black bean and roasted squash soup we ordered?

Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?

Ouch.

I could never do a review like that--I'm too nice. But I'm not too nice to read it and chuckle.
