From what I know, a huge part of its "fat" content is a type of waxy fat that is undigestible in humans. Not toxic mind you, but it has the same *ahem* reaction that Olestra can, resulting in horrible gastrointestinal issues. Has this ever happened to you?Boxernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-34968131096290555552010-08-04T09:52:27.490-07:002010-08-04T09:52:27.490-07:00i think he saw the $240pp of per se and $185 of LB...i think he saw the $240pp of per se and $185 of LB and decided to go with the latter. anyways, he's already made the reservation there. <br /><br />as for union square cafe, i remember it being the ultimate nyc restaurant when i used to live there. sadly i never went. tho i did check out his other restaurant - gramercy tavern which was awesome.daniel s. kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708191875652908574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-72306695179013921032010-08-03T11:58:37.223-07:002010-08-03T11:58:37.223-07:00LB and JG are just about as expensive as PS, so no...LB and JG are just about as expensive as PS, so not sure what he's thinking there.

However, I wouldn't say that you're giving up that much by eating there instead of Le Bernardin. I still think it's one of the top places in LA. In fact, I may be going there near the end of the month for the 16-course Chef's Tasting.kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-64630887686628247052009-01-05T16:58:00.000-08:002009-01-05T16:58:00.000-08:00As for comparison, I'm guessing Providence doesn't...As for comparison, I'm guessing Providence doesn't compare well with Le Bernardin?mattatouillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362025149586532212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-21209866110111526592009-01-05T16:57:00.000-08:002009-01-05T16:57:00.000-08:00If someone were to ask me the one place I want to ...If someone were to ask me the one place I want to eat in the entire US right now, I'd say either TFL or Le Bernadin.
