Doggy Bag: Today's Odds and Ends

Tweet police: Bits + Bites' Sara Deseran busts Bauer's BF today, or so she thinks. You see, interior designer Michael Murphy is Bauer's ball-and-chain, and Deseran pounces on what she reckons an indiscreet tweet of Murphy's (his tag: @curiousmikie) as an invitation to sling a cocktail at Bauer himself. Here's the tweet: Underwhelmed by latest food church in Oakland.Entire meal in 70 min. Left Broke ($100 person)+Hungry (sm portions)+Sober (VERY sm pours). Deseran assumes that Bauer shares Murphy's take on Commis in Oakland -- if, in fact, Murphy's tweet is even about Commis in the first place.

But so what if Murphy revealed Bauer's hand? Can't somebody's hubby be ass-y on Twitter? Believe us, it can suck to be the spouse of a restaurant reviewer. Hell, it can suck to be a restaurant reviewer, when it's a Tuesday night and all you really want to do is stay home with a dried-out rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods and watch Glee. And anyway, Twitter's an informal medium -- it's the one place where we should allow each other to be all slouchy and bitch-diva. Shouldn't we?
