12/17/07Chef-o-Rama
Well, lots has happened since last we checked in. Kitchen gossip has been flooding over our transom and under our door, much as we tried to block it out. First -- and most annoyingly—Lejends in Yonkers has closed its doors, apparently the day after we mentioned them in last week’s blog. To be honest, this was not unexpected. All along, there were rumors that the restaurant was having difficulty establishing a regular customer base, and we did notice a quietude in the Lejends dining room of late. We’ll miss you, Lejends—especially your stellar chicken and waffles, and your sinus-clearing, house-made ginger beer. Posted at 07:59 PM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |

12/10/07A Note from Julia
Okay, folks, here’s the next-to-last of EATER’s guest bloggers. (Look for a spot by BLT’s new chef next week.) Thanks to everyone who blogged for all of their work and support: I thank you, the Magazine thanks you, and who knows? Maybe even the readers thank you. Posted at 07:59 PM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |

12/06/07Holidays on Ice: Give the Designated Driver Something to Cheer About
We're baaaaack! (Cue that old Elton John classic—you know the one, from the time before he became a Sir and had to watch his mouth.) Actually, I’m just darting in here because someone – and you know who you are – blew a deadline and left us stranded without a Monday entry. Let’s just say that we hope you feel like a heel, dragging us from our deathbed like this. Well…perhaps we’re exaggerating a bit, but it’s rude just the same.
