What the Seattle Press is Saying!

Check it out. Here's some of the meat others are serving up over Cafe Nordo.

““I would definitely go again…The show would be worth seeing again and the food, … was of good enough quality that I would pay to eat more... The entertainment value and great people I met however, make me say that I felt this was certainly worthwhile.” – The Gastrognome

“The entire affair is sort of like ethical consumerism on crack: these days, everyone's concerned that their food is grain-fed, organically grown, ranged freely, and ethically slaughtered. Carnal Food takes the idea a step further and seeks to emotionally and intellectually engage you with the life and death of your food in deference to the near miraculous process which got it onto your plate, recounted in performance even as you eat it. It's fun, a little disturbing, occasionally bordering on the perverse—latté activism infected with a viral strain of radical Marxism, intent on reconnecting you to your means of production over fine dining.” – The SunBreak

A temporary dining room has been installed in the warehouse of Fremont's Theo Chocolate (the same site that housed Circus Contraption), and its Oriental carpets and backlit scrims make a setting that's warm, elegant, and close to magical…When the salad arrives, you sense a chef who somehow intuitively understands what you want and is lovingly, slowly creating it just for you… …The shot of soup is a lovely amuse-bouche, a puree of fresh herbs and chicken broth, topped with crème fraîche...” – The Stranger

"One could be critical and complain that it's all a bit self-conscious and pretentious, but that would miss the point. This is about self-conscious and pretentious attitudes toward food and drink. (Just look at this pompous website.)” – The Seattlest

As always, some of the reviews, or parts of them, ruffle our feathers. Sometimes, they can't get the facts straight such as how many days we're running or who the name of their server was, but one cannot be too hurt by a reviewer. They are only human after all. They have their own failed projects to glum over and personal needs to fulfill, and like Edward Albee said, "If Attila the Hun were alive today he'd be a drama critic."
