Hot Sake - Food News You Can Use
- Frank essentially calls Robert out on his Il Brigante review from a couple of weeks back. Looks like he is getting his pizza jones ramped up, expect a flurry of pizza output in the next few months.
- In a sad bit of news, Teresa's the the Polish stalwart on lower on First Avenue has ended its 22 year run in the East Village. They remain in business at a Brooklyn Heights location.
- In a sadder and scarier bit of lower First Avenue news, just east on second street the culinary black hole that is Lucky Cheng & Waikiki Wally's has gone alfresco with an open-to-the-street raw bar by Waikiki. Not a gamble we are willing to take with our stomachs.
- More Chang-ness in the Times, this time it is in the magazine with Amanda Hesser for Recipe Redux updating 1989: Spinach Roman Style.
- Jennifer Leuzzi goes poking around about how a handful of chefs feel about being involved in the huge charity tasting events held regularly around town.
- Chez Pim provides another reason to love the Spanish, just look how they do the whole coffee ordering process. If it sounds interesting to you go practice down at Despana – stop by their website and check out the Spanish Mile in SoHo event details.
- The Post has a wrap-up of contenders for best of the newbie lobster rolls. Leaving Mary's & Pearl out of the mix, Andrea Strong looks into who has a chance to challenge these incumbents.

That is truly sad about Teresa's. It was one of the cosiest, most authentic and dependably delicious little restos in the nabe. The EV has become just a little more soul-less for it...
