Comments on: “furiously refreshing [me]…” http://www.pxthis.com/2009/10/refreshing-me-furiously/ "... and if you don't know, now you know..." Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:41:40 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Inkslinger http://www.pxthis.com/2009/10/refreshing-me-furiously/comment-page-1/#comment-202 Inkslinger Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:50:16 +0000 http://www.abbe-diaz.com/PXthisToo/?p=1141#comment-202 Also, it's pretty obvious that JJ doesn't even know what "shill" means. A shill would be someone that posts under an assumed alias for example, to falsely write favorable reviews about their own business, underthe guise of being objective. Abbe answering a question that was asked of her can hardly be called a shill. Especially since all the information in this blog post is true and can easily be confirmed by fact-checking. Abbe's relationship to the subject also appears here right in the comments. Eater called Centro's closing a 'system-wide' problem, which was obviously not true since Centro re-opened 3 days later, as was reported here. If you want to know what a 'shill' is, you don't have to look any further than Eater's constant coverage of David Chang, Keith McNally and Shake Shack, e.g. Eater writing about a Shake Shack that hasn't even opened yet in Miami is a shill e.g., when they refuse to acknowledge a Mangia Organics that opened on 39th St. From the google searches on Mangia Organics that end up at this site, we know that it is info that is desirable to people (especially in the fashion industry). But Eater, despite doing everything in their power to FALSELY write about Mangia/Sasha, has never even mentioned it. Why is that? Plain and simple, it's because Eater is a 'SHILLER' that poses as an objective food site, and takes ad dollars from unsuspecting companies that don't even have a clue what they do, and only looks at the number of page views.

Everything that is written here implies that we assume you are ALREADY in the know. If you are a member of the NYC's fine dining industry (especially downtown) then it is assumed you already know the places and people we are talking about, or that you ALREADY 'get' it. That is how we differ greatly from a site like Beater or Grub St, e.g. Everything we do here is out of passion for our little segment of the profession (and our friends in/around it), and we don't write about every little thing that lands in our email inbox. If we did, that would detract from what makes us different and interesting to people like us, that are light years ahead in knowledge over a typical Beater/Grub reader. Thanks again! :D Thanks for your support, “Fuck Eater” :D

Dior/McQueen/Alaia maybe but definitely not Prada. http://ny.eater.com/archives/2009/10/centro_update.php
