Be Able to Boast You've Slurped Pasta with a NY Times Restaurant Critic
Weight, weight, don't tell me! On Monday night, September 14, Naomi Epel Presents and Scala's Bistro (432 Powell at Sutter) are fêting former N.Y. Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni, whose memoir-slash-"overeater's story," Born Round: The Secret History of a Full Time Eater, has already gotten the equivalent of a plate-load of national press. Scala's chef Jennifer Biesty is said to be preparing a fabulous Italian dinner in honor of the Italian-American reporter and his book. ![portrait-bruni[1].jpg](http://blogs.sfweekly.com/foodie/portrait-bruni%5B1%5D.jpg)
Hot and (formerly) heavy: Frank Bruni.
Tough to fathom the handsome (and sooo gay) Bruni -- that's him over on the left -- ever had even one worry about his looks, but apparently he has a lifetime of eating secrets and weight struggles. Bruni did make certain changes (like signing up with a personal trainer) before working as the Times' critic, and he definitely knows his appointment was loaded with irony.
The Scala's evening promises a four-course dinner with wine and a signed copy of the Born Round tome, $115 for singles and $199 for couples. Advance tickets are needed.
