Marty unleashes a full-length (693 words) report that drops a rather mixed review on Caffe Perusa in Stony Brook (reviewed on LouisvilleHotBytes and in LEO by Kevin Gibson on July 16). Where he likes it, he really likes it, and where he doesn't, he really doesn't, to the extent that even the almost always optimistic headline writers in Scene gave this one a rather iffy title. Still, at the end he has favorable words and a standard three-star rating. Kevin liked it a little better.
In an interesting, if non-food-related, glimpse into policy trends at Gannett, it's worth noting that the editors posted this review on the Website yesterday, a day before it saw print ... another suggestion that the bean-counters are looking for ways to turn from paper to digits as much and as soon as they can. Pity they do such a poor job of it ...
Perusa aims high – too high?
