Abbe Diaz is a bit rankled, if not pissed. The maitre d'hotel-cum-blogger and author was asked by the New York Post to report on the scene that is Graydon Carter's Waverly Inn for Sunday's "Haute Spots." So glad she was to participate, she eagerly scribbed down the notable names she'd seen (and been seen by). Including the deNiros, Barkins, Wintours, and Perelmans, she also submitted the names of restaurateurs Silvano Marchetto, Giorgio deLuca, Kurt Gutenbrunner, and Sasha Muniak — the West Village neighbors of Graydon's new outpost. But did those foodie names make it into the Post's print? Blogs Abbe:

you know they left out like half the fucking names i mentioned, right. more specifically, they left out the names of the fellow restaurateurs whom i spotted dining there on several different occasions. like for example silvano&marisa-marchetto and giorgio-deluca and kurt-gutenbrunner and sean-macpherson –although they did mention eric-goode and brian-mcnally so figure that shit out– and sasha-muniak and marc-bagutta[who represents Cipriani and was dining with ron-perelman].

now ANYONE in "the industry" who has half a fucking clue can tell you how IMPORTANT it is to extend the utmost courtesy to your fellow colleagues (they "sit immediately" too you fucking morons)– maybe even more so than all these frikkin boldfaced assholes who will in all likeliness drop your establishment like a pregnant scary-spice and probably never patronize again once all the "hype" cools down and nobody gives a shit anymore.

how the fuck do you NOT give props to all the kindly "neighbors" who took the time, energy, and effort to come show their support?! The Post is out of their fucking minds

Funny, 'cause someone once told us that "ANYONE in 'the publishing industry' who has half a fucking clue can tell you how IMPORTANT it is to etend the utmost courtesy" to the people signing your cheques.
