Recently, a commenter asked for the details of the feud between Steve Lewis and Todd English and wanted to know what would become of the restaurant they were working on together at 98 Kenmare. Now we can reveal that, according to a source close to the deal, the space has just been acquired by the owners of Sfoglia.

Sfoglia Owner Accused of Stealing Mario Batali’s Torta

It may not be as bad as Cindy McCain ripping off dessert recipes from the Food Network's Website, but Sfoglia owner Ron Suhanosky is getting some heat for doing the same with Mario Batali’s goat-cheese torta. According to The Boston Globe, Suhanosky did the dessert, which appears in The Babbo Cookbook, on The Martha Stewart Show. Suhanosky, for his part, is uncowed, saying, “How do they know Batali didn't take it from me? People can think what they want to think,” before then quickly reversing himself, and adding, “Everyone in this business uses other people's recipes.” Now there’s a ringing denial!

‘Top Chef’ Hopefuls Show Off Their Faux-hawks

Metromix stopped into the Top Chef tryouts we told you about and talked to would-be cheftestants — some of them locals, like Paul Inserra, a bartender at Sfoglia who cooks a mean beer-and-bacon soup; Andrew Sikorski, a chef at Docks Oyster Bar; and Pascal Frola, an executive chef of Naples 45, who says he brings to the table “my face on the plate.” Yum! Our vote goes to Eng Kian: Between the faux-hawk and the Jean-Georges fetish, the Malaysian ICE student could easily be the next Hung.

No Mansion for You This Weekend; Clinton and Obama Aprons

Don’t expect to get into Mansion tonight without an invite — or anytime this weekend unless you’re a model or designer. But you can experience their sex toys firsthand on Valentine’s Day. [Down by the Hipster]

‘Esquire’ to New York: Drop Dead

Esquire paints Dennis Foy as top twenty in the nation.Photo: Courtesy Dennis Foy

Are you kidding us? Only a trio of New York spots made Esquire’s “best new restaurants” list. And while the places described all sound good, if the likes of Rialto in Cambridge have all but three New York restaurants beat, then Pace is the new Harvard. The fact is this list represents a kind of trans-Hudson affirmative action for the restaurant world. Food columnist John Mariani picks good restaurants located outside New York in place of the more deserving restaurants inside the city limits, such as Insieme, Sfoglia, Ssäm Bar, Suba, Hill Country, and many others. It’s not their fault that New York has more good places than the rest of the country put together!

The Upper West Side is teeming with activity, as is every other area of Manhattan, but I very rarely see anything on the Upper East Side. What have you got against the several hundred thousand people who live there and their restaurants and chefs?

Choose Your Food Group Wisely: Which Side Are You On?

Quantity didn't equal quality for Platt.Photo: Lea Golis for New York Magazine

There are four restaurant-related stories in this week’s issue, and they ask you to take a side. Are you a New Yorker who glories in the freshness of newly arrived strawberries and seasonal cooking in general? Or are you an atavistic who prefers to sit in air-conditioned steakhouses, consuming red meat in 90-degree weather? This week, at least, Adam Platt is clearly the latter, dining in the Freon fortress that is Landmarc and finding only the heaviest, most beef- and bacon-laden foods worthy of (faint) praise. Those of us who have fathers like him are enjoined, in one of this week’s Short Lists, to visit various steakhouses with our dads. On the side, there is more cool, natural frozen yogurt than ever to be had, enumerated in another Short List, and this week’s In Season features a recipe for delicate pasta with strawberries from Sfoglia.
