Guy Trouble

Well, you don't see this every day, but new NYT public editor Margaret Sullivan is super active.   So today she takes time to note the extraordinary web "glee" over restaurant critic Pete Wells' very witty ultra-pan of new Guy Fieri eatery in Times Sq.   She talks to Wells. 

“It’s good to make people laugh,” he said. “But I don’t roll up my sleeves and get out the knives.” In fact, although the review is fun to read, he said he is well aware that “restaurants are made by people — they’re very human.” He understands that lives, jobs and reputations hang in the balance.

And in his four visits to Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar since mid-October, he said: “I did go in hoping there would be good things on the menu. I would have liked to write the ‘man-bites-dog’ review.”
