Some poor schmuck took Charlie Ga GA out for supper at Buttermilk Channel, a dining establishment in Carroll Gardens: LOCAL. ORGANIC. GREEN! Frank Bruni says it’s good, but Charlie isn’t so coy: the appetizers were a REVELATION. Bacon bar nuts. Delicious. BACON and nuts together as one! The entree was not so inspired: fried chicken, waffles and slaw. Meh. He smothered the entire dish in garlic aioli for flavor. He also thinks you’re better off spending your unemployment check on the KFC down the street–where they will service you immediately and won’t make you wait forever at the bar. Service fail.
He made it safely to Charlie’s tummy, for $87.78.

Everything I had at that place was soggy. There weren’t enough cute people there either. Frankie’s and Prime Meats are practically across the street.
Anyone else super excited for Frank Bruni’s memoir on his epic eating disorders? Pepto Party to the LAXIMUM!!!!

[...] Since Charlie Tu lives in a thin and fabulous state, he is force fed organic healthy stuff and faux greasy food. But not in Real America!! aka the fat states of the South and outward. To the rescue comes KFC [...]
