Yep, that's the one. It's huuuuuuuuuuuuuge.
I know! I've actually been in there a couple times! It's proved a convenient place to sit, have a cup of coffe and read when I'm in the city and a couple hours early for whatever lunch engagement I have in the neighborhood. (Especially in the summer, when it was scorching.)
I was equally dismayed about the lack of understanding about New American, which was made clear by the comment by one of them about "contemporary American," which, yeah, there's your problem right there.
To be fair -- and remember, I'm not much of a cook, and these folks should be WAY ahead of ME -- Tom's explanation of New American cuisine on his blog was terribly confusing, and left me going, "Huh. So, Thomas Kelleher is New American, and so is Mario Battalie. Huh. I don't get it."
One suspects that the phrase itself is the bugaboo here: It strikes me as one of those things that have meant so much to so many people that it's essentially meaningless. So what happened was, for the most part, an emphasis on classic American flavors (done badly, evidently, fo rwhich there's no excuse) when what they should have been concentrating on was sophistication.
