If you're Times Square bound anytime soon, you might want to avoid this place:

| Ouch. Harsh. |
| If you choose to eat at a place that slathers its food in "donkey sauce," you pretty much deserve what you get. (And that review was hilarious!) |
| Loved it. |
| That many questions is a hard read. Not a well written review though he def got his point across |
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't recognize well-written literature if it smacked you in the jaw. It was brilliant, full-stop. And exceedingly well-written. |
The only thing that made it hard to read was the inclusion of all the ridiculous made up "ingredients" and menu terms coined by Guy. |
| Jesus. Guy's gonna need a gallon of aloe to treat that burn. |
I think "brilliant" is over-stating it a bit (as is the suggestion it bears a relationship to great literature). I think it's more noteworthy for the unrestrained criticism than the writing style, but it's a fun read. |

I found the review about as annoying as I find Mr. Fieri, which may have been the point but made for tiresome reading.
I did enjoy this, though:

NP here. Well-written? Brilliant!? Are you kidding? Read some of Jay Rayner's reviews in the Observer and then get back to us. |

Give yourself another pat on the back, Mr. Wells. Tiresome was a perfect description of the read. |
| I thought it was a very funny review. I think Ezra Klein tweeted the line about the marshmallow. |
