Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Old MacDonald had an organic urban rooftop farm, EEE-I-EEE-I-O!… And on that farm he had these things called ‘ramps,’ which are totally trending in restaurants right now, especially in areas like Greenpoint and Bushwick where sometimes, even in a low-key place on a butt-ugly block across the street from the projects, a pretty basic salad with some ramps in it will cost like 12 bucks but then they’re all like, ‘we’re cash only,’ which is bullsh!t because if you can charge 12 bucks for a salad, 24 for an entrée and another 12 for a glass of wine, then you probably can afford to cut a deal with American Express.
We at The Price Hike don’t appreciate it when ambitious Brooklyn restaurants like Battersby (with an $85 tasting menu) or Pok Pok (with a two-hour wait) don’t take American Express, so we thought you might appreciate this piece of McSweeney’s satire. The title is, appropriately: “Old MacDonald Had an Organic Urban Rooftop Farm.” (Editor’s Note: Thanks to Eater.com’s Raphael Brion for sending the McSweeney’s post our way. He’s a Price Hike Colonel).
