Si and Garlic, confirmed

A reader writes, "I've got a second on that Newhouse putting the kibosh on garlic thing from a friend of mine who is an insider at Restaurant Associates, although no verification on whether or not he can see his own reflection in a mirror." Perhaps one of you Conde Nast people could inconspicuously walk past Si with a mirror of some sort? Or all of you? Spontaneously? It could be a Conde Nast "mob project."
