I went to Spork a few months ago, totally prepared to loathe it, to continue my drive-by condescension. However, it was actually good. Drats.

class mockery is fine in teh SF. butter bar was fun once upon a time. i used to think bubble lounge was a delicious form of self- mockery, until i realized they were serious.

Well, I'm pretty sure that any of our local deadtrees rags would put out a similarly dated piece on visiting the East Village. This sort of travel articles is supposed to appeal to a wide audience base anyhow, so it's perfectly understandable that they mentioned mostly tried-and-true businesses. The NY Times's review of Spork is so short, any interpretation on their motives would largely be in the eye of the beholder. Since it follows the capsule review of Dosa, they are probably meant to show a wide range of culinary styles in the area.

Q: When does that line go from nostalgic to camp to mockery of not just the food, but of the class that consumes it? A: When SFist writes about it.
