Comments on: New York Restaurant & Diner, Kings Cross http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/02/09/new-york-restaurant-diner-kings-cross/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Thankyou so much! :D Hi reddoorred-It's very eye catching indeed! Hi grace-Knowing everything else there it was bought quite a while ago. If I come across one I'll let you know :) Hi Marc-LOL yes the Outback only has a passing resemblance to Australia! The schnitzel was good but I still have a craving for the lamb chops! Hi arista-You've got it in one, that's exactly what it is! :) Hi Craig-Thankyou so much for your kind words and support! :) I admit I was a bit puzzled at the comment when I had explained it all. Again thanks :) Hi Katie-LOL it doesn't claim to be American or New York food, nor do I claim it to be. If you read the story you'll see why it's called the New York. Hi Blue Crane-What a great resolution! Thankyou so much! :D

The food is clearly described as "Australian/English" and the name of the restaurant is also explained - with no reference to the food! Seriously, in the time it took you to write that comment, you could have just read the rveiew. Sorry to add to her negativity, but this comment really bugged me. Great post!

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 02:48:39 +0000 http://www.notquitenigella.com/?p=10257#comment-20909 This food is not actually very American or New York. Is it supposed to be? Or is this just a name? I lived in Washington, D.C. for 9 years and went up to NYC on a regular basis. I have never found anyone in America who has made a trifle or knows what it is. It's English (The rest of my life was spent in London before I moved to Sydney 2 months ago). I have never seen beef sausages with fried red tomatoes and salad like that anywhere. Also people in America don't generally eat a lot of beets. Oxtail stew, I think, also comes from the UK and its very unAmerican because the Americans are uncomfortable with eating things with bones attached. Sorry to rag, but you can't go thinking this is really American fare. This food is not actually very American or New York. Is it supposed to be? Or is this just a name?

As a New Yorker, I can say that's about as New York, as Outback Steakhouse is Australian, but it looks like a fun place and that schnitzel pic has me craving one! LOL that’s kind of awesome.

Hi Maria-Fantastic! :) Yes it's a really comfortable place to eat in for a lot of people, I think they'd be quite devastated if they closed! Hi belle-Yes the Cross is an amazing place full of real characters. Thanks! :) Hi Reemski-Thankyou very much! Haha yes I'd love to ;) Hi Christie-It's amazing isn't it and the chips were very good indeed! :) Hi Jane-Thanks very much! :) Oh yes that's amazing isn't it, I was so excited when I saw the relatives of the Oceanic cafe! Hi Chuck-Me too, it's the ultimate comfort food! :) Hi Cakelaw-Yes, the prices and the food are such classics, and the menu hasn't changed much over the years at all! Hi Aubrey-You're welcome! It's definitely worth a visit (although best for an early dinner as they close at 8pm:) ) Hi aptronym-Very cool that you're a regular diner there and that you have your regular meal too (with cordial no less! :) ) Hi Bean Sprout-Definitely worth a try, the classic dishes are so nice to have once in a while. Hi Cappucino-Absolutely, the interviews that Tess Sweeney did were fascinating! Hi the projectivist-LOL I couldn't finish my plate and dessert they were so big and filling! :) It's great isn't it!
