This. Bacon, Banh mi and IPA as a theme would have been novel in 2005. A buddy of mine opened a place that was all craft beers and among the offerings were a slab of bacon, roasted shishito peppers and lamb sliders. That was back in 2003. He's made a go of it by hosting countless events and allying with the Slow Food movement.

BarBacon seems behind the zeitgeist. Maybe rich kid new arrivals from the Midwest will keep it in business for a little while, but I can't imagine it'll last long. Then again, the guy running the place does have some cred, so maybe he can make a go of it. But it seems like a hackneyed theme to me.

Sure. But beyond novelty could this place actually manage to keep a regular enough clientele to stay in business? Bear in mind, prices are pretty upscale.
>>5642475
Nope. I just live in NYC, and have a number of friends in the industry (restaurateurs, food writers, wine industry types), so I hear lots of talk about trends. Lots of chefs were buzzing around Jimmy's No. 43 ten years ago when he was doing more or less what BarBacon is doing now. It's hardly a new idea.

Yes, and cannibal in midtown

But there is no way he's unaware

I think he's just going for an older crowd for whom a mid 2000s trend isn't going to invite derision. Hells Kitchen is for older gays and people waiting for the bus back to jersey after a night on the town.

But for those same prices you could eat at a restaurant that's more than a dated, one trick novelty. If dated novelty is your thing you could go to the Gorbals in Williamsburg for banh mi poutine and a bacon wrapped matzoh ball.

The mystery is why a dude with a resume that namechecks Bouley and Robuchon opens what appears to be a pleb-tier, dated novelty restaurant?

It doesn't male any sense, even as a money grab.

none of this is fad food, its been around a long time. just because lots of people like something doesn't necessarily indicate its a fad, its just popular.

>sriracha

I used to think its a fad but it seems very popular and is here to stay. I said earlier just because lots of people like something doesn't make it a fad, but AS LONG as they keep liking it long enough. I don't think anything you listed is a fad, its all here for the long haul.

Pic related, a fad. only ultra faggots will be dressing like this ten years from now but Sriracha and IPA will still be popular.

Just because you are part of the problem, and you think this fad shit is cool, doesn't mean you should try to hide that its fucking lame.

Just admit it and own it and move on. Ifyou loke being sort of faggy and trendy in your food choices there is nothing wrong with that.

So you think it's a "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public" thing? You may be right. Most of the country thinks Guy Fieri is a chef, ffs.

Perhaps my conceit as a New Yorker is that I'd like to think my neighbors might be a little more savvy than this.
