Ballpark Frank: Eleven Madison Park

Awwww yes. All those visits to Eleven Madison Park in the last two months weren't a ruse, nor were they an excuse for Bruni to milk his final season of holding one of the most coveted expense accounts at the New York Times. That's right, tomorrow Boom Boom Bruni will give Danny Meyer the one-two treatment by filing his final (and third!) assessment of Eleven Madison Park, just a week after a crippling two star downgrade of Union Square Cafe. Is this the four everyone's been waiting for? There is no reason for the Brunz reiterate his three star assessment just two years later given the Hummer is still at the stoves. If it's a demotion, it's unclear whether Danny Meyer, future mayor of New York, could survive it. But perhaps the man is just out for blood. [Eleven Madison Park, after 8PM; NYT]
