So, yes, in my best Cleese voice, "It's an ex-parrot". He was doing his New Orleans BBQ thing in DBA Brooklyn but I'm not sure if it's still going on: http://www.yelp.com/events/brooklyn-thcoup-shop-at-dba-brooklyn-new-orleans-grub-done-right http://gothamist.com/2009/07/30/new_restaurants_on_the_radar_bhatti.php I'm kicking myself for not checking it out earlier. I believe he's going to do some traveling (Rio?) but last we spoke he threatened to come visit the farm around November (which I assured him was the optimum time to visit a farm.....bwahahaha).

I used to go there for lunch when I worked in that area. I really enjoyed their steak frites. I guess a Heartland Brewery isn't the worst replacement in the world. Mmm beer.... Oh that’s a shame.

It was actually a nice place... extremely upscale for Port Authority terms.. but always humbling to dine there while watching police pushoff streetwalkers and urine soaked drunks (yes, all of these still exist in NYC!). I consider that 8th Ave stetch to me landmarked as the historic seedy NYC zone... just so folks don't forget our roots ;> That’s sad.. they once had a weekly endless muscles deal.. for like $20 you could eat all you want and interchange between the 3 different styles/sauces.

I bet a Heartland Brewery will do very well in that space. I wonder if the Cafe Metro will stay open? I would think Heartland Brewery would want that storefront window space facing 8th currently occupied by the cafe.
