Post writer Steve Cuozzo has set some sort of record, having nearly 1000 words in the otherwise concise-ish Living section. The topic meriting such space? A rebuttal to GQ's "4 Best Cities on Earth (To Eat In)" feature, in which New York is not included. In fact, GQ includes a NYC sidebar to express that our tomato sauce is "crappy" and our scene is "obnoxious." Stupid jerks.

Oh, wait — we don't really care what GQ thinks. But Cuozzo, well, he takes this shit seriously. He thinks GQ's article is "grotesque," "off-balance," and ends the piece by suggesting that the magazine "stick with [their] cafeteria pablum and Times Square crap and leave the rest of New York alone." And no, this is not an op-ed article.

We know relatively little about Cuozzo, but we're starting to imagine him as helmeted Frank Bruni.

Fork You, GQ! [NYP]
