clearly, this Bruni character is a dumb ass...
Katz's Deli *

granted, the decor sucks, the service is hord, but the pastrami sandwich is probably the best sandwich in the WORLD.
that makes up for all the previous lost points and then some.
cured for 3 weeks, and steamed for 6 hours. that makes for a good pastrami.
Bruni has no business giving this meat mecca just 1 star. was it just "good"?
WHAT THE STARS MEAN:
(None) Poor to satisfactory
* Good
** Very good
*** Excellent
**** Extraordinary
mind you, this is the same man who gave Masa (japanese eatery in the time warner building) 4 stars when it first opened.
i've been the masa's kitchen and it is a joke. it's home cooking but just plated professionally.
you're better off going to mitsuwa and having a 5 minute meal. you'll thank me later when you realized I saved about $495 a head.
anywho, frank bruni is a dumb ass and it feels good to say that.
give it a try... i guarantee you'll have a smile after you do.

Strangely enough, the review wasn’t bad. In fact, he seems to have captured what I thought of the place in several ways and seems generally disappointed when the mentioned the possibility of Katz’s closing or moving. The 1 star he posted almost seemed like a misprint. I almost thought his rating scale was the opposite where zero stars would be better. After all, it does have “good” in parentheses next to the one star rating. But that would be ridiculous. If it’s not a misprint, then yes, he is a dumbass. (There, I said it.) It says: “Ratings range from zero to four stars and reflect the reviewer’s reaction to food, ambience and service, with price taken into consideration.” Not some, but all of these definitely chalk the ratings to much more than ONE star.
Manny’s Deli (http://www.mannysdeli.com/) in Chicago was always my favorite deli. That is until Porthos introduced me to this treasure. I dare Frank Bruni to share his one star review with any patron at Katz’s. In person.
