Snob Appeal
"So, Frank Bruni of the New York Times upped his star count on Le Cirque today to 3 stars. This after Le Cirque upped its foie gras count in its "top hat" shaped raviolis ($35 for 3). Bruni claims these restaurants "exist to be absurd" and Le Cirque "now fulfills its chosen mission." Unfortunatley, most New Yorkers won't be able to afford such luxuries. So to Mr. Bruni a big whoop dee doo!"
