I think Guy is laughing all the way to the bank. This is just huge publicity for him and people are going to show up just to see if they agree with the critic.

Agreed. However, that doesn't mean that the review wasn't overblown. It seems to me that the reviewer truly couldn't believe how terrible the food was, and wanted to collect a mountain of evidence. Some of those dishes sounded positively inedible. As an aside: a very curious format for the article. I've never read a review (or news article of any kind, for that matter) composed entirely of rhetorical questions. I heard about it on a radio station yesterday. I think it was the worst review at least in recent memory so the DJs were having fun with it. Unlike Guy's supposition, I think whoever wrote it wanted to make sure it was as bad as he thought before committing words to print. Since it is Times Square the DJs figure out of towners would eat there until it went under or improved. The locals will probably not drop by unless for grins or after a review showing some improvement.

Or its a good place to watch sports. Some places seem to use the cheapest quality chicken tenders, but they have twenty 60" LED HDTVs lining the place, each showing a different sports channel.

I look for clean grout.

Oh so you thought. Most of us have known about "Clancy" since early 2011.
