Re: Tale of 3 Restaurants: Mozz, Theatre Square and Z's Fusi

When I see people who have restaurant affiliations so hard on a negative reviewer it makes me not want to eat at that person's restaurant. Obviously industry people have a different view on a member giving a negative review, but the Mozz review wasn't just about bad food or worse service. The experience included an integral member of the restaurant making some very bad and unprofessional choices.

I had a similar experience at Molly Malones. I called everyone including the owners. No one would return my call and since it was the manager who acted so badly, the only choice I had was to not go to there again. This forum is often the best place to get a response to the service issue you encountered.

This is also my first post just like Jeremy's. I'll to be kind. Just wanted everyone to know that the new Chef's name at Z's fusion is David Scales. He's a wonderful guy who's originally from Maryland. That will explain why his Crab Cakes are awesome. He's said to me that Marylanders do two things this time of year. 1- Is that they know their crab cakes 2- Is that they love their Turp's Football.
Daves' a super guy & I think Louisville will welcome him warmly. He's already visited a few of the other local restaurants for lunch & dinner. He's told me that he's been impressed with just about everyone he's visited. No one knows who David is so it's kind of easy for him to walk on in. He's a very unassuming person, who's really laid back. I think we can expect some really nice things from Z's Fusion while David is there.
Thanks,

I made a mistake with the name, thanks for the correction. It's very exciting to have Chef David in Louisville.

Ah, so it comes down to a battle between "locavore truist but not the original" vs "the original, but flown halfway around the World and increasing your carbon footprint". Either way it's better than mac and cheese at the Blue Boar, but the conundrum is enough to make a foodie's head asplode.

i'm used to eating fresh firore di latte(buffalo) mozzarella still warm on a fresh broken apart loaf of italian bread. when you have had fresh mozz, it tastes nothing like the pre-wrapped that you get at whole foods or lotsa pasta. or that some stores freeze their mozz. and don't tell you.
i can always taste the difference.


OMG. A trip to Hoboken included a stop at Fioiris (I think) for cheese and Maries for bread. Sitting in the car or leaning on the hood making a sandwich was the best part. Both the cheese and bread were still warm if we got there at the right time, When we were feeling adventurous we would throw on a slice or two of soppresata.

Lotsa Pasta makes theirs fresh. If you come at the right time, you can get it still warm, before they wrap it.

After 2 weeks, I was hoping a spokesperson from Mozz would comment on this this thread; after all, they have used this board as a tool to get their name out there. :(

Normally, I'd agree. However the last time we've heard anything from persons associated with Mozz is before Thanksgiving; well before this event took place. I'm not sure if they are even aware of the incident. Apart from Mr. Cooper who is not on LHB to my knowledge, the representative/spokesperson may be totally oblivious to this entire situation.

My thought too. When I was there last week, there was an entirely different FOH manager- not sure that there might have been a change or just a different shift.
