couldn't agree more, especially about the piercing of the meat. That put me over the edge.

Mom and me reading the times:
Mom: I just don't understand why you want to move back to the city and leave Westchester.
Me (pointing to that picture): these people.

Good effing lord. That thing looks about half the size of a $100 charbroil grill. What a waste. But he's so lucky to be able to show off to his friends how much money he has to burn! Whoopee! These are the same people who jack up their kitchens with Sub-Zero's and Viking Ranges when all they really use is a microwave to heat up take-out.

Hi Joe,

I blogged about the same thing, right after the article appeared, and it seems you and I reached the same conclusions--not that those conclusions are difficult to agree on. My blog entry is here, if you're interested:

so what?
Let these people do whatever they want to do. Maybe they're ridiculous. But you're ridiculous too if you treat them publicly with such anger I guess. Be a foodie and not a food guerillero ;)
have a nice weekend

Huh?!?! What's the point of that tiny little thing? Why is it so expensive? Even high-end infrared grills--with a LOT more cooking surface--aren't that much! It doesn't have a rotisserie or anything (that I can see, at least) built in, either, and it doesn't appear to have a smoker... I don't get it -- what did they spend the $6500 on, and what are their friends impressed with? "Wow, Bob, your tiny grill compliments your other tiny asset very nicely! Only difference is, you can keep cooking for more than 5 minutes with the grill..." ;-p
