The Critics

New York Post critic Steve Cuozzo drops a bomb on "the year's most irksome service phenomenon": It's "floor staff who try steering us to dishes we don't want, don't need or shouldn't be allowed in the room." He calls the "Let me tell you my favorites" line a new "waiter shtick" that's "a push to unload whatever's sitting around the kitchen." [NYP va Eater NY]
