Chef-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.

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.

Nevertheless, we’re eager to warm up the 'ol fingers to write about something that's concerning us right here, right now: the temptations of holiday drinking. Lest we trigger every hypocrite alarm within ten miles, we'll admit that we're not averse to a drink or...
