iCatching: Food ad fight

Posted on 22. Feb, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Totally Whack

• Picture this – New York Times food critic writes a crappy review of swanky new Manhatten restaurant.

Manhatten restaurant owner is driven by rage to purchase a full-page advertisement in The New York Times,  accusing the NYT writer of being crap himself.

Handbag slugging match, over 10 000km away from, makes us note down the name of restaurant for visitation and champagne chugging purposes next time New York is lucky enough to see us. Genius.

• Has all other types of business ceased to exist? CNN Money lists their Top 25 startups to watch and they all seem to be those odd Internet 2.0 things.

• Once the clever nerds have made their billions – perhaps they’d care to take a look at the Forbes list of the World’s Most Expensive Homes of 2007. Stellenbosch wine farm house is right up there with the best of them.
