"i find the style oddly reminiscent (if somewhat sanitized) of PXthis.com, the original 'blahg'
imitation, flarttery, etc.?"

"hi FullComp,

yah so i get this e-mail the other day, and it's essentially a link to
your site, talking about how faaaboolous you are, and that you're the
"... Boston [version of] PX This..."

so i take a quick lookeeloo through your joint and
ummm
i think you're better ! and much less self-absorbed than i am,
apparently. hahha hahhaa

anyways,
my name is abbe-diaz, and a little whiles back i wrote this book
called PX This. well essentially it's my four year diary, mostly
describing my experiences working the podium for all these hotshot
joints in NYC
(here's my bio for the full lowdown---> http://pxthis.com/bio.html)

to make a long story hopefully shorter: i just started this Forum
thingie, for people who work in or around the
restaurant/nightlife/hospitality industry (employees,managers,
proprietors etc). it's only a few weeks old but we're already up to
about 200 members, and it's been featured on eater.com and gawker.com
a couple times already. [ahhahhaaa we're kickin ass, takin names, and
then selling them shits to the highest bidder.... just kidding].

yah so MY POINT IS: care to join ?? bring yer peeps ?? it should be
lots of fun... (and hopefully constructive too!)

check it out when you get a chance to stick yer head out the weeds
http://pxthis.invisionzone.com

hope to see you !! yay Boston !!


cheers,
abbe"

I thought Full Comp is snax.

i missed a space between "employees," and "managers"
???

ugh.

i said "essentially" twice and "yah so" twice
???

ugh.

i was totally in a rush that day i wasn't thinking clearly

Aaawwww, isn't that sweet?

Hot lesbo action with brains. Have I died and gone to heaven?

Hmmm...I'm not sure why everyone seems so sold on Full Comp being a girl, although I'm sure there's a girl or two involved in the whole three ring circus...I've gotta say that here in Boston our little industry is abuzz with the blog. So fun to read, old-school ideas about how to treat and be treated, and when you know every name they dish about it's even better. Huge fan...the stuff they're talking about needs to be said. Holla.

From the "Women in Management" thread.

Shizz...I stand corrected.

Is it me, or is that link not working??

This is just another example of how PX This is one of the best things that ever happened to the resto industry.

It's working now.

Snax snagged a Q&A with Bourdain. http://thefullcomp.blogspot.com/2007/04/no-fucking-way.html
You go, girl.

But how come you didn't ask him what it's like to spit-roast Paula Freolich? LOL

Way to represent, Snax!!!

uhh excuse me. dick-johnson is MY member goddammit. if HE gets "dirt" we ALL get "dirt"

whaddya want-- a "Boston Industry Cast of Characters" forum ?? it's not a problem....

did i just say dick johnson is my member ??

eehehheehheee

How many Boston peeps are even on this board?? I'd love to see Beantown represented here...widen some peoples narrowminded views about the biz...
It's so typical of this city...such a microcosm. I still don't know who you are, but dammit, I can guess what peeps are writing to you with regard to gossip. In fact, the whole "extra credit" about Harker and Gwen probably spawned enough email to keep me busy reading for years. Which brings me to my point 'bout Bostonians in this biz: they're not gonna say anything here if they feel we can find out who they are, because when it comes right down to it, we've probably all slept together (actually, I know we have) and we're gonna find our asses in a boatload of shizz if we get found out. I'd be happy to speak up, and I would love people like Adam Halberg and Patrick Connelly to get some face time on this blog. Fuck it...I want some FOH action to. What about Eli Feldman from No. 9, and Andrew Holden from Eastern Standard. Those kids are under 30 years old and rockin' it with the big boys. Shout out to the under 30 crew who rock it old school style.
Shot of Fernet, anyone?

Holy shit, snax, are you reading my mind??? I wrote that last reply and then checked ur site. HA!
www.thefullcomp.blogspot.com
Nice job. Eli's the real deal.

The more the merrier!

i'm not sure. unless there's "boston" in the display name (like "bostongirl") and/or e-mail address, i really couldn't say.

being "scared" is understandable. as you can see, a lot of the NYers are "scared" too.
punkasses




um hmmm i don't know quite what to tell you.
i started this place fully prepared to step in and "moderate" if necessary. it certainly is much easier if you are at least familiar with the "characters" being discussed.
i don't mean to sound self-important or some shit but i do think it could potentially become quite a responsibility.

I think the Beehive has got some serious talent on the roster...I just hope they can deal with the volume. Can you imagine being a server on that patio?? For fucks sake, I think I'd kill myself. Then again, I could always walk into the bar and take a look at Josh Childs, and then Mama, the whole world would be ok.
On to more pertinent matters: Patrick Connelly is one of the most talented chefs I've had the privledge of working with. There's no juice on him because for YEARS he was dating the same girl (Adrian) and just recently broke up (and lost about 50 pounds). He's quite delicious...and anyone who likes Wilco is a friend of mine. He shared sous chef responsibility with William Kovel for quite awhile until Chef McHottie moved out to London. Kovel is now at Aujourd'hui. He and Bricky-poo are keeping it real and who doesn't love those bubbles? From what I understand Schlow is completely off the scene at Radius (well, he has been for years...funny stories about him another time), so PC took the reigns as exec chef. Talk about paying your dues...boy worked with 'em all. Ask Gabriel Frasca, Brian Reimer or The Greenes what they think about him...nothing but love. Kid can cook.
What other coming up in the ranks friend can I expose...seems like all the kids I've grown up with in this biz are making good...I love me some young folks who take this shit seriously and respect their elders.
Oh yeah, BTW, any ideas about why Sage in SoWa (sorry, it just sounded so NYC) hasn't received much press?? Could it be that JACKASS, tongue-ring wearing, ex-aberfuckme model, head-up-his-seven-jeans-wearing-ass manager they have working could ALREADY have pissed everyone off?? I love Tony, but c'mon...having a blonde Derek Zoolander as your manager aint gonna get you anywhere good.
Whew.

ha ha ha ha ha hahahaa i looove that.

but goddamn you guys weren't kidding you are allllllll up in boston peoples biznesses oh my lord.

lessee if i tried to do something similar for NY, alls i would be able to come up with is umm

- john-deLucie likes ethnic girls
- brian-mcnally likes ethnic girls
- frank-mchugh likes ethnic girls
- patrick-coston is totally sweating me
and uhh oh yah
- jean-georges likes ethnic girls

i'm not kidding that's some serious CIA shit i just dropped on yalls right now.

Hit the 'Multipost' key for every post you want to quote. Then hit 'Add Reply' at the bottom. Viola.

I think.

(Yes, I meant to say "Vy-Oh-La", not "Vwa-Laaa". I like Viola better.)

And John McDonald likes boys.

LOL I'm kidding.

I'm just playin', secure in the knowledge that I can make gay jokes all day long, an Abbe will be the one who will have to suffer the fallout.

ahahahahahahhah!

I could be the "Dirty Rice" portion of the Full Comp!!!!!

That said, I wouldn't want to be responsible for making the full comp exactly what all us industry folks don't want to see it become - dirty gossip. I love the integrity you all have shown in your blogs and I would hate to see you deviate from that beautiful mission statement you have. I'd love to be part of your show boys and girls...but can't risk my staff finding out their fearless leader is a smut loving blogger!!

Now for some tea and crumpets:

I couldn't agree more about Brian Reimer... damn if that boy hasn't come into his own over at Daniel. Watching him work in that kitchen brought a tear to my maternal eye. Shit, that kids like a brother to me. Hey Lookee - two people from the boston scene who haven't slept together!! Brian get's offers constantly to leave Daniel and open his own place, I think he's got investors lined up through Central Park to help him out. Will watch that closely.
The jackass referred to at Sage is a kid named Mike. He drives a yellow Lexus and inccesantly flicks his tongue ring back and forth. He managed Restaurant L and did such a hack job with the wine list that MS Walker actually refused to sell to him. How badly to you have to fuck up to make a distributor stop selling to you?? I heard he was a manager of the new Sage and almost called Tony myself to protest. Maybe he's not the manager and just waiting tables??
Smell you later, kids.
Have fun with Brick and Kovel!

eeheeheheee
i am totally stealing this line.

i

DANNY MEYER BROUGHT YOU MUTHERFUKKING DONUTS ??!!

you BITCH.

okay what the fuck is going on here there is something SO NOT RIGHT with this picture

you'd better have saved me a glazed. whore

okay so lemme get this straight

if bourdain is boinking you on the noggin and meyer is ringing yer doorbell...

then everyone knows who you are-- yes ??

i thought i heard boston was all in a tizz trying to FBI yer ass

???

It's genius.
Everyone keeps guessing and guessing...if I had a dollar for every name I've heard thrown in the ring...everybody has a theory. Point is - who cares who's doing the actual writing? With so many people fact checking and writing in with ideas it's sort of like it's everyone's blog. Interesting, no?
I'm just psyched that it's gone beyond people talking about it at the Eastern Standard bar and become something more...Shit man, Danny Meyer???

But Bourdain and Meyer know?

Holy Shit, snax.
That letter about ES was some of the nastiest shit I've ever read about a place.

danny meyer emailed you donuts????????

Ask Abbe to ask her arm candy to get you Ann Burrell, if you haven't gotten her yet.

i'm pretty sure it won't be a problem. i hear anne-burrell is very sweet (i only met her once, very briefly)

man you guys got allllll the 411 ya kinda scare me a little

ahhaahaa i know the lyrics to THAT jingle

but whatever. that's what makes me an ARTIST, dahling

ahmm ahem ahemmm AHEM ahhemmm ahmm
