Teeth Barred, Lips Pursed.

I've eaten a lot a mediocre meals and written a lot of restaurant reviews in my career but none as damning as "Tour de Gall" by A.A. Gill that skewers a French institution in the April issue of Vanity Fair.

The withering prose includes passages like the following:

"The cramped tables are set with labially pink cloths, which give it a colonic appeal and the awkward  sense that you might be a suppository."

Snort.

Just be glad you didn't suffer the indignity of actually eating there.
