THUNDER JACKSON'S, bleecker and sullivan streets Options

[abbe]

yah so i went for dinner the other night. and i gotta say: i totally love it

i tried the BBQ jalapeño wings, the seared ahi tuna, the escargot, the porterhouse, and the burger. and they were all SLAMMIN i am not even kidding. even the fries were great. i am dying to go back and try the "dirty benny" cuz the lady next table over was having it and it looked amazing and i heard her raving and she scarfed the whole thing down in no time flat.

as for the stilo of the joint-- i guess even that is brilliant. cuz apparently this is the "new thang" or some shit.

like for example i went to RustyKnot sometime last week, and yah i get it i am well aware all the hipsters and whatnot think it's the new jumpoff or whatever. but i hauled my ass alls the way over to the highway and i must say personally i wasn't feelin it at all, i left after five minutes, that is not an exaggeration. and supposedly RustyKnot has this "haute bar food" thing going on too-- but like i said i wouldn't know cuz i didn't bother to try any of it.
but whatever

anyways
i can tell ThunderJacksons is gonna be hott like any millisecond now cuz i spotted all sorts of industry peoples up in there (eeheee it's pretty dope watching them mingle with "the village" walk-ins and tourists and stuff-- it's like playing a game or some shit. SPOT THE HOMIES) and so i'm pretty sure word is gonna spread like wildfire now that they're officially officially open. cuz everybody knows where the Industry goes is where it's at. ahahahahahaa



sigh
i almost wish i could just post this in the private "members only" section cuz gawd knows i am so not looking forward to it getting "discovered" and getting overrun by dorkfaces like what happened to EO and BlueRibbon way back in the day


but whatever.

i'm just sayin.

[virgo]

oh yah ! my bad

now that you mention it, i remember we were just about to leave and the Chef said to us: "hey has anybody ever told you that you look just like david-bouley?"
hahhahhaa

so i reply: "yah... but i think [sasha-muniak] is soooooo much better looking"

and Chef goes: "oh of course. but it's something about the eyes maybe... i used to work side by side with david-bouley... for YEARS. it's just kind of freaky..."



so yah. i'm such a bad "food blogger" i should probably be taking notes or some shit.
oh but then again, i'm not a fucking "food blogger"
ugh christ


urrgh i don't even remember the Chef's full name. ian-something.
oh that's horrible

Because sometimes we have lapses in judgment and trust the nutters over at the PXThis forum, we read their reviews of the new Bleecker St. sports bar Thunder Jackson's and decided to do an Eater spot check. Let's just say it's everything you'd come to expect in a Bleecker St. sports bar and more. We're not even going to go into the food (but you'd be wise to avoid most of it if you go). Just observe the picture above and pass judgment for yourselves: the place serves forties in brown paper bags. There's just no better gimmick for making your yuppie bar stand out than appropriating a clichéd symbol of poverty. Now a look at the food and clientèle.

Yeah, the 'nutters'. The ones stupid enough to own and run every place in NY that Eater has never been able to score a reservation, in their lives.

whatever
let's just see what happens in a few weeks. that's all i'm sayin.

you know-- it's not even amusing anymore making eater look stupid. it's like kicking a crippled midget.

[Dick Johnson]

Hmm, are you saying you know something they don't know?

What a shocker.

LOL.

the funny thing is i was actually trying to be nice by sending them the information. because lockhart-steele aplogozed for the Racked thing.

now i clearly see: they don't WANT to be smarter. or more insightful.
and thus, they never will.

the most ridiculous thing of all is: i think they actually think it's US they're harming. hahahahahahaa

[abbe]

We're not even going to go into the food (but you'd be wise to avoid most of it if you go).

oh my lord they are unfathomably stupid.




then again

like i'm surprised




hahaahaaa
now all we have to do is cross our fingers and pray bruni hates it too.

Sometimes they have lapses in judgment? That's gotta be the understatement of the year..

Anyone that's remotely insightful can see right through eater in a second. It's admirable you'd try to enlighten them but they keep proving the old adage time and again "It takes one to know one". That's what they hate and why it is you drive them so crazy.

By the wya, I heard all about TJ. You're not the only with sources in the biz, y'know.

oh please, thank god! and in a couple weeks when word spreads and they are begging to be let in, please make sure that they and their stupid readers are never allowed in there ever again.

are you nuts!? please just let them stick to writing about pinkberry and shake shack. don't do them anymore favors. i don't read them that often but from the few comments i've seen on that site, i know that if any of those iditos ever came into the place i work, i would want to kill someone.

Did they just say that they are not going to get into the food?????? That's cooked by a chef from Bouley and Lespinasse???? Yea sure why would they talk about the food???? It's not like it's a restaurant or anything.
