Bit of a dust-up about the NY Times Travel section article in re: Budapest's dining cuisine. Pesticide is not pleased, and seeing a web of lies in the article itself &c.
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but it's the Times' Travel section. Like any Travel section, but especially with the Times', what's written about trends has no bearing on reality. Just like Sunday Styles, it's a trend or not because a writer says so and pitches it. Is there fusion? Irrelevant. Maybe the writer picked his restaurants poorly. Just like lawyers, the writer can make whatever arguement they want. You pick your restaurants and say, look, this expensive restaurant opened, and here are three more, expensive fusion is a trend. Or the opposite--can you believe the renaissance of the inexpensive dining scene in Budapest?
Let's just pretend the food tastes good and look at the pretty pictures.
