The Edgecliff Bistro’s menu looked pretty bad to begin with, by the way. It was based on bar food. Didn’t feel to “Jean Robert” to me, so I wasn’t interested. I’d rather go to Tellers.

I don’t want to hijack this thread, but there has been an interesting development in the Jean-Robert/Martin Wade saga. One of the Wade’s restaurants, The Edgecliff Room has stopped serving their menu. They now are only serving pizza & burgers. The business there had been pretty weak already, and once the stories about Wade/JR hit people simply stopped coming in. I think that someone should start a Relish Group Deathwatch Blog, and Edgecliff will definitely be the first entry. It’s going to close within a matter of weeks at this rate. Chalk will be next. Once JR takes his name off of the Bistro and strips it of all of the decor (which is his personal property), and the restaurant gets “The Wade Treatment” it will probably go by the wayside too.

Now that the people have learned of Wade’s shabby treatment of JR, and that JR has nothing to do with any of the restaurants, people will stay away from his restaurants en mass. That’s going to make for some delicious schadenfreude when Wade starts to close his food mills, err, restaurants.
