The Plattster files a double this week on Brooklyn's Char No 4, a surprise charmer (two stars) and Bouley's Secession, a big flop (zero stars). He praises Char No 4's bacon, bourbon, and baby backs and finds little to love at Bouley's newest: "For those of you ghouls who’d like to trace the decline of New York’s latest gilded restaurant era...David Bouley’s slapdash new venture, Secession, is a good place to start."
