The chef went on to open one of the most successful restaurants in recent NYC history, on Houston St. in Manhattan.
The place in Williamsburg hung on for a few sad years but was never the same.
In effect, the customers walked out at the same time the chef did, and most of us never went back.

The owners thought they needed to change the direction so they decided to relaunch with a more accessible menu.
They fired the chef. The problem, they thought, was the chef's ideas were too out there for NYC eaters.

Being a Spurs fan is knowing 100% you're supporting the wrong club while at THE SAME TIME knowing it's the right one.

I think so! We'll definitely try to broaden the discussion to be about urban nature in general.
(Also, Ryan's stories are pretty fascinating in general and not your usual nature book stuff)

If you were putting together a QA team for possible civilizations you'd hire humans because we're so good at breaking things
