OMG you don't know what taho really means in Cantonese, do you?

no. As far as I understand, it is a Philippines thing.

It was just a lame attempt at humor, but the joke's on me since it turns out I'm the racist in this case.

huh? did you cross-wire posts on valentino and jose andres? though i have to say the two "molecular" meals i've had in the andres' backroom (ssam bar) have been memorable. once a year for food like htat for me, though.

Yes, sorry. Valentino was great. SLS this time sucked.

i wonder how much of that depends on how often you eat "modernist" food. I'd imagine if you did it very often, you'd become very jaded very quickly. I have it once a year or so and it's still surprising, so pleasurable. A perfectly made risotto on the other hand ... you can eat that almost every day and never get weary of it.

i feel like SField here would be a great and necessary replacement for Pete Wells.

In the world of modernist food, SLS is mediocre at best. Even when I sang their praises, that is not the side of the menu that's worth anything. For that, go to SF, Chicago and NYC.
