Restaurants Jeff Varasano on NPR
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 6:14 PM
Jeff Varasano was featured on NPR's "All Things Considered" Sunday. You can hear the piece on the NPR website.
Meanwhile, a couple commenters on my recent post about tweeting for free cake at Varasano's are griping about a new card on the tables there. They instruct diners to fold their pizza slices for maximum deliciousness. I reminded them that Sophia Loren gave the same advice in the film "Houseboat." I've looked everywhere for a clip of that scene but haven't found one yet.

Bribing customers to put positive comments about his restaurant out on the interwebs in exchange for a free piece of crappy cake. What's next? A free rubik's cube with every 5 star Yelp review?

LOL...I likewise balked at the tactic -- didn't post a comment myself -- but it's a pretty ingenious use of social networking. At least, I've never run into it before. I do agree that the cake was not very good, although my friend liked it fine.
