#Elsewhere bk movie#
Because if his column for The Atlantic gets optioned for a Hollywood movie (pitched as “Under the Tuscan Sun for hipsters”)** and he is played by James Franco and the movie becomes the worldwide success “Eat, Pray, Love” was supposed to be, then I will just have to go shoot myself. But I’m happy with that success only to a certain point. I wish him all the success in the world - showcasing the soulful stylings of Thai home cooking and sometimes adding a few American twists is genius, and his food has more “soul” than, say, Krua Aroy Aroy (no, can’t let it go). I don’t wish bad things to happen to this person. We have agreed to (sort of) disagree.ĭon’t get me wrong. I still think they are the Thai street food equivalent of Pierre Cardin). Jarrett said I painted the restaurant as a tourist trap, which it isn’t exactly … not in terms of food or execution, at least (in spirit, maybe. I wrote something negative about - not ashamed to say it anymore - Krua Aroy Aroy, especially in regards to their kanom jeen nam ngiew, which is a dish of particular importance to me. Either one.Īctually, I did correspond with Mr.
Hoping someday to get paid to write about it. Me: hoping, someday, to open a restaurant, northern Thai, named after my grandmother. Him: “…quietly earning a fanbase with cuisine inspired simply by what’s fresh in the market” (). Me: not able to get paid unless I write something about GDP or which investment bank is underwriting the latest corporate bond issue from Blah Blah Co.
Him: “a long-time food journalist for beloved American magazine The Atlantic and elsewhere” (BK Magazine). The owner of the restaurant (OK, OK, it’s Jarrett Wrisley) is a completely inoffensive person who does not deserve crazed people like myself writing about him.
Which is how I feel about the proprietor of Soul Food Mahanakorn (56/10 Thonglor, (085) 904-2691), an unassuming restaurant close to home that is generating some healthy buzz. What is an “envy crush”? It’s a sneaking, reluctant admiration mixed with a dose of self-loathing. Please reach out if you're up for the challenge.Have you ever had an “envy crush”? Someone who, irritatingly and without fail, always managed to hold up a mirror to your own inadequacies and failures? Someone whose inevitable and apparently easily-won success you always applaud, but with a little seed of dread in your heart? There is no place for rudeness, nepotism, or subpar performance and of course, no misconduct of any kind whatsoever.
#Elsewhere bk professional#
We are hard working and diligent, yet professional and kind, towards each other, our audience, and our artists.

Elsewhere is built for the true culture fanatics, but we are not exclusive.
That means cultivating an audience across genres, both in live and electronic music settings, and in the physical / digital arts. Our mission is to shift emerging culture in New York. We also operate a seasonal art program called Landscape.Įlsewhere is not a traditional music venue or night club. Elsewhere is a live music venue, nightclub, and arts space, housed in a converted warehouse in Bushwick, Brooklyn.Įlsewhere lives by an ethos of creative risk-taking, progressive music programming, respect for all people and art, and a desire to support and grow the communities that make it all possible.Įlsewhere has multiple performance spaces, a large rooftop, a gallery, a loft lounge, and an outdoor courtyard.
