I'm not a foodie, nor am I a member of the eGullet "community." But I have to say your article about Regina Schrambling smacks of character assassination. I'm wondering what private score you're trying to settle here. Regina may piss a lot of people off with her Dorothy Parker witticisms, but her writing is always intelligent, stimulating and independent. When I read her articles, whether they be about Arthur Avenue in the Bronx or TV dinners, I know she's not trying to suck up to anybody. She's not worried about snagging freebies, an invite to the next cool restaurant opening or even a good table at the hot spot of the moment. Regina's always brutally honest and speaks her truth, regardless of the consequences. I'm sure that rankles a lot of people in the clubby New York food community. But it makes her a trusted friend of the reader (remember him?) and of the discriminating consumer.
