Plans for Aix Revealed; African BBQ Comes to Union Street

Coney Island: Two minutes have been shaved from the normal time limit for the Nathan’s hot-dog-eating contest. Major-league eaters now only have ten minutes to force-feed themselves. [Brooklyn Paper]
Flatiron: Old Town Bar is a "great bar with a great history, but the burger is not great. Have a pint instead." [Hamburger Today]
Harlem: A benefit on Father's Day called Real Men Cook will host "celebrity cooks and tasters" and include plenty of food. [Uptown Flavor]
Upper West Side: The Aix space will have a new design and serve "seasonal American small plates and shareable entrées in the Stanton Social–style of eating." [Strong Buzz]

Ko’s First Non-Rave Finally Arrives; One Star for Commerce

The first less-than-stellar Ko review is in and suggests that reality is creeping in. Yes, the food was terrific, but you’ve already heard all about it, and the staff isn’t particularly friendly. Plus, “[s]itting on backless, uncushioned wooden stools for more than two hours can be a challenge for the best of us.” [WSJ]

It’s one-star time for Commerce; Frank Bruni admires chef Harold Moore’s as “ambitious and unpredictable,” but not necessarily in a good way. And the place is LOUD. [NYT]

The saga of Bouillabaisse 126, described here last summer, seems to have had a happy ending. The Carroll Gardens restaurant, a French bistro formerly haunted by the ejection of partner Neil Ganic, has quietly become one of the city's most interesting French-African fusion restaurants. Under former Les Enfants Terribles chef Abdhul Traore, it's now Korhogo 126, and attempting to convey the flavors of the Ivory Coast via the refinements of French technique. Escargot are pressure-stewed and served with star anis and tomato under puff pastry, African honey sweetens an endive-and-pear salad, and the ratatouille is “served with West African, Wolof-inspired rice infused with tomato, onion, and Senegalese spices and sautéed vegetables.”
