The Frog Blog for sort, don't you know. So far, they've shilled about half-way through their client list, but it's early still. Their introductory post: "From our perch on the coriander crusted branches of the culinary tree, you could say that we at Bullfrog and Baum are privy to some hot stuff. From tastings to awards ceremonies, we’re as much a part of the city’s culinary landscape as the chefs we represent." [EaterWire]
· In Lowdown today, news on the future Behemoth of Bank Street, Graydon Carter's Ye Waverly Inn. "Carter vowed that the just-renovated space - a few doors down from his house on Bank St. - will open for business in late October.
