certainly we will never really know. Indeed, NYC on the very high end of the Big Bucks Scale, always contains a contest of Ego
but :
" dismal green pulp " "Draining off the gluey, oily liquid" " limp, dispiriting yam dumplings"
"as murky and appealing as bong water."
etc etc
the question I have, even if the above is partly true, why didn't they just walk out ?
this should have been the last nail in the coffin :
" Wine glasses sat empty through entire courses "
after all, there would be no financial loss to them, would there ?
I doubt bookings will suffer at PS, but the BigBucksCrowd can now pile on .
