Gawker Lays Hate on Restaurant Girl Danyelle Freeman
Danyelle Freeman took a beating from Gawker this week.
Now that Bruni Digest author Julia Langbein is blogging for Gourmet, you dont hear many jabs at Franks purple prose anymore. Enter Gawker, which yesterday took aim at a much fresher target in not one but three posts skewering Danyelle Freeman, a.k.a. Restaurant Hurl. Somehow we dont think Gawkers back-to-back parody reviews which focused on a sandwich we eat about three times a week, Despaas El Quixote will cause Freemans future dispatches to be any less florid and torrid.
Which is why it may be time for the inimitable Ms. Langbein to revive her site in honor of the Daily Snooze critic (the one at the Times clearly isnt going anywhere). If Julia comes through, well treat her to a Quixote sandwich with its rapturously/lusciously/enchantingly chewy bread.

Wait, isn't Josh Stein the "ignorasshole" at Gawker who writes about restaurants?

Yeah, that's a little like the retarded pot making fun of the idiot kettle.

Top Editor and Two Colleagues to Leave Media Blog Gawker
By ANDREW ADAM NEWMAN
Published: December 3, 2007

When half of a media outlets editorial staff decides to jump ship, chances are it will be reported first on the media gossip blog Gawker even, it turns out, when those departures are from Gawker itself.
In a posting Friday afternoon, Emily Gould, a Gawker editor, dropped the bomb: both she and Choire Sicha, the sites top editor, were quitting. A third editor, Joshua David Stein, confirmed on Saturday that he was leaving, too. Gawkers three remaining staff members were all hired within the last three months...
Reached by telephone, both Ms. Gould and Mr. Stein said their departures were predicated partly on Mr. Sicha leaving. Ms. Gould, who has been with Gawker for a year, said she was upset about a new compensation system that pays writers according to how many times people view their blog posts rather than only by how many posts they write. The system, she said, pits writers against one another.
It really gets in your head in this weird way because youre getting so conscious of how many people are reading what, Ms. Gould said. You get focused on being sensational and even more brain candyish than Gawker was to start with...

i guess the ignorasshole quit.

Too bad he's going to London. With all these restaurant workers here it could have been great to take a more proactive stance. Right in his food now that you have his picture.

Then again we all know those Gawker writers make less than $12 per post so he probably can't afford to go to those places (especially now that he's unemployed). That's why they're all so bitter and always have to insult people who are better than them.

not that i actually give a hells about the ignorasshole or anything

but must say i do think nick-denton is a little full of shit on this one. i mean, i don't know exactly what they're making now or what the hit count quota per entry is or whatever. but $12 per entry sounds kinda crappy to me. $12, 12 entries.
that's $144 a day ?? gimme a break i was making more than that waiting tables at Houlihan's in secaucus, at the age of 16. CASH bitches.

no wonder they can't get (and/or keep) anyone good.
don't get me wrong, i still think the ignorasshole is a total douchebag.
but seriously

HOW in the world did Gawker expect to get a restaurant/bar/party/event "reporter" KNOWLEDGEABLE about nightlife on that kind of salary ??

nizzles please

Oh Abbe puhlease. You expect them to make more than $12 for "writing" about their friend's dog's vagina? http://gawker.com/news/bitches/-322570.php

They have the nerve to brag about their hit numbers but neglect to tell you that alot of their readers are people like me who don't visit Gawker because we think it's so great but only because we are checking to see if they are saying anything nasty about me or any of my friends today.

wow. i don't read gawker that frequently but i do remember reading some of this guy's posts about bars and rests. he really isn't that knowledgeable at all; most of his stuff was his opinions or stuff you could read any number of other places. i would have thought that if it's his job to report on the nightlife scene, then it would be in his best interest to use this place as an informative tool instead of trying so hard to alienate the founder and members. there's such good info here that no one else could possibly know.

That's what we've been saying all along. But I guess now kharma is coming into play, because look at how far we've come along here! This place started out with everyone (Gawker, Eater, Cutlets, Jody etc) disparaging us when it first started, but now the Gawkers are unemployed, Morandi sucks, Diana's not around anymore, Centro is a huge success, Anne Burrell has her own TV show, and PX will soon be on HBO!

This is where these assholes really piss me off. Why would Abbester be homeless? She has like 6 different jobs and all she has ever done is rail against the assholes in this industry like Lois and you-know-who-that-won't-be-mentioned. I for one am glad that we have a place like this where we can be heard for a change. I am so sick of reading these fluff pieces in all the papers that are so full of bullshit. It makes me so sick that all this time they have all been getting their asses kissed when in reality they're such horrible people. Thye're the ones who should be homeless!

I can't remember who posted a comparison between Abbester and Gawker (back when they were trashing us and called us 'Koreshian'), but it's becoming so obvious that their lives are so mundane in comparison.

apparently he's not a "another co-worker" but a co-writer.
but i think all the drama is something about how she used to mention him on Gawker all the time or wrote about him for some other magazine or whatever but evidently totally neglected to mention how she looooves him and wants to have like 10,000 of his babies.

yah but from what i gather all the "indignation" is about how it was nick-denton himself that wrote that item and so the indignarooties are saying he shouldn't be such a meanie to them cuz they used to work for him. or something like that

but uh yah-- hello ? are his former writers not "in the media" ??

and isn't it Gawker's JOB to write about peoples "in the media" ?? and lindsay lohan ?

and isn't Gawker's modus operandi entirely comprised of being totally mean to random peoples all day long ??

sooo-- what the fuck ??


personally i find it all so absolutely RIVETING.

And I noticed you (intentionally?) left out the rest of the lyrics, which, interestingly enough, are QUITE appropriate in Ms.Gould's case here, no? Namely:

"Don't never try to judge me dude

You don't know what the fuck I've been through

But I know some-thing a-bout you

You went to Cranbrook, that's a private school

What's the matter dawg, you embarrassed?

This guy's a gangster?-- his real name's Clarence

And Clarence lives at home with both parents

And Clarence's parents have a real good marriage

This guy don't wanna battle, he's shook

'Cause ain't no such things as HALF-WAY CROOKS

He's scared to death, he's scared to look

In his fucking yearbook. Fuck Cranbrook."

In other words: Pathetic, Ms.Gould. Really, truly, fucking pathetic. And laughable too.

But I thought the lines I quoted--Rabbit talking about himself--were more fitting because of Emily's cover line: "Maybe it makes me feel safe to think that if I tell you all my secrets you won't have any ammo against me that I haven't given you."

@cassandra:

I really disagree with a big portion of your first bit, and I'm going to quote it because I disagree so strongly. I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a writer or a journalist and no expert on these matters.

Where our generosity went, and our willingness to see things from a different point of view. I wonder this about Gawker all the time -- like, as we commenters criticize every bit of behavior and decisions that others make in their lives, how much of it is a weird way of putting pressure on others to conform and be just like us?

It's not that at all!

Commenting is a public, identity-driven feedback mechanism. It is a process whereby we establish personal brands in the course of analyzing the material - or, as threads progress, other comments. It is built not on conformity, but on conflict; typically it's the fastest way for people to disagree and find each other. In the course of this process, you often find groups forming together to shout down an opinion, but that's value-added; strong ideas achieve buy-in from the body politic. It's an expression of processes that used to be wrapped in circulation figures or sales, and it moves lightning-quick toward consensus. This could be mistaken for conformity, but it's really just a rapid information exchange.

Furthermore, the debate isn't about what we're doing to Emily. It's about what Emily provides us. She doesn't present a sports event, market movement, or important event for us to analyze; she presents us with her own life and attempts to establish its events as indicative of the world at large. There is a value in such things, but I'm afraid that all she's shown me so far is a stark desperation for material and cultural success, a modicum of writing talent, and a shameless disregard for other people's reputations.

Where do I see that ending? Psuedo-celebrity. Minor financial success. A body of inconsequential low-culture pieces about the froth of young men and women in a Machiavellian world of abuse and distrust. She furthers every aspect of what I find disdainful about internet culture toward no noble end whatsoever.

And none of this is as bad as the fact that her writing, initially, seemed genuine, raw, and destined for something larger. Instead, she's already hooker her perpetual media motion device meager dark energy of her "persona" and doesn't seem to be concerned that, absent intervention, the height of her journalism career might be the time she dueled her ex-boyfriend's article with her own. How sad.

You might think she is a decent writer--I'd say she is a decent crafter of sentences, but has so little to say that it doesn't amount to much. I'd put her feminism in the same category. And her current project of watching herself watching Sex and the City over on Jezebel is so fucking convolutedly self-absorbed and self-promotional it almost makes the Times piece pale in comparison.

I accidentally somehow ended up in here, cuz I wanted to see more of this awesome screwing-your-coworker clusterfuck that "the media" is so impressed with this week, and I dunno, maybe my mouse got all trigger happy or some shit.

Yah so uh, lemme get this straight-- you come back here to Gawker to blog about this bullshit in your oh-so-absolutely-clueless fucking way, because right now nobody else is paying you to spew your typically pedestrian idiocy, yes?

Now, did I just read correctly, or are you seriously being indignant about some chef on a fucking TEEVEE SHOW, because she's an ass-sucking fuckface (or whatever)?

Huh, that's pretty funny, cuz I wrote an entire BOOK and keep a four-year blog, writing about JUST such "injustices," in the REAL RESTAURANT WORLD, and do you know what you did to me, you cocksucking mutherfukking piece of hypocritical shit?

Do I have to LINK to it, asshole? No, I think you remember it just fine. DICKHEAD.

She hasn't been there that long, I don't think. That's likely why she doesn't know the history. She was brought over from their other site Jezebel, because they only had all guy writers without her. She doesn't post as much as them, and her items tend to be on the fluffy side. She's a good Emily replacement, at least she seems to have the hand-wringing and earnestness nailed. She got arrested for drinking beer out of a bag at a subway stop. Should give you a good idea what she's about.

subj: oh rilly?

actually Sheila-- evidently, it was quite brilliantly "intelligent." sorry you just didn't "get it."
and quite frankly, it seems to me that little move of yours was kinda a little "ad hominen" calling the kettle "emotional," seeing as i wasn't really talking to you (or any of your readers, for that matter).
and call me crazy (oh hah ! yalls DO) but i'm preeeeeetty sure good ole Josh Stein's skin is a wee bit thicker than that. (otherwise, his name would be Ben Leventhal, right?)
if he doesn't know it, please feel free to let him know, he is MORE THAN WELCOME to rebut-- as he has always done before. unless of course, he actually enjoys you fighting his battles for him.

in any case, i am trying to do the right thing by humbly requesting you re-instate my comment privileges. sorry, but i seriously maintain i have absolutely earned the right, considering how gawker and its readers have treated me in the past. truly, i do believe it's only fair, since absolutely nobody should be subject to criticism without defense. however, if you insist, i will curtail my use of profanities should you be kind enough to assent (mind you, i said "curtail," not "cease"-- since gawker's policy does not seem to require it).

you need not fear i will unleash my so-called "batshitness" on the gleeful commenters tapdancing on my grave. okay-- actually, i kinda do wanna answer the "moff" guy (funny!) and maybe clarify the "bryanboy" thing. other than that, i couldn't care less.

i do hope you will reconsider.

thank you,
abbe diaz

p.s. by the way, despite the pile-on in that awesome "thread" (thanks!), several of your readers have sent me very nice e-mails and facebook messages and whatnot, "apologizing" to me for the whole ordeal. i'm just sayin.

 

no answer.

That wasn't a very smart move on her part. All she did was draw more attention to how dumb he is. Now she looks prissy and humorless and he looks like a scared nancy boy that needs his mommy to protect him. 'Because I said so' is about the dumbest it can possibly get. Even from a PR standpoint the 4000 views is a boon and the comments only validate it. Not one single articulate argument as to why Abs should be banned but only alot of whining about how she intimidated them time and again. And this coming from Gawker of all places. Shameless.
 

Posted by: Dick Johnson May 23 2008, 01:45 PM

Oh, right, like he didn't have that problem already?

Seriously now though, I just read all those comments, and let me make sure I get this straight - they have a Velvet Rope system for commenters, right? Holy cow. That's like putting a rope and a doorman at KFC, from what I gather.

So, they all whined and linked to Abbe's old comments (Stalkers! Nice.) and followed her every move, but they were too punk-assed to comment anything about her at the time. So they all waited until Abbe got banned and couldn't respond, before they gang-banged.

That's 4,000 views with no reason to click-through. There isn't any "MORE>>" link on the front page. So that would mean people were clicking for the sole purpose of reading the comments. Funny, now that you've mentioned it, I see that the number of comments [currently at 117] has been removed - for example, where it used to say "117 Comments" it now only says, "Comments." That would seem to indicate that they intentionally removed the number that was indicating the quantity so that it would curb their readers' curiosity, putting a halt on the view numbers?

They're probably not happy that we're gloating about it.
 

Posted by: Inkslinger May 23 2008, 03:52 PM

The numbers are showing again. It does say '117 comments' right now, but I know that it didn't before, because when I clicked to read them, I was surprised to see how many there were. (There are only a few that are bad; alot of them are good! Most have nothing to do with Abbester at all.)

Maybe Sheila McClearly-Not-Smart wasn't satisfied with the $30 she made, and wants to go for more.

Emily Gould "Shocked" By Her Cover Photo
It's Day 8 of the Emily Gould saga, the former Gawker editor whose first-person blogging narrative that landed the cover of the New York Times Magazine. Our coverage of her is nothing personal, just business—she's officially a "person of interest"! Today's installment: some people, including Gould herself, seem to be offended by the article's accompanying photos, shot by fine art photographer Elinor Carucci. They're "intimate," like the text, but "intimate" also reads as "sexy," and God knows we can't have that. (Gould called them "vaguely cheesecakey" in a NYT Q&A.) Although the Observer wrote today that "the writer was involved in winnowing the photos to a dozen... 'when I saw the cover, I was shocked,' Ms. Gould said on the phone. Did she feel a tad exploited?"


Sheila's bleeding-heart shtick is starting to grate.

That's not that surprising, since Richard Lawson is neck-in-neck with Sheila McClear on the Lame-O-Meter. His entire arsenal of witticisms consists of lame attempts at self-effacement. That comment about Sheila is hardly unfair or offensive, given the fact that both Stein and Gould plastered their stories all over the covers of major magazines and owe their entire claim to fame on their publicized sex lives, not to mention the spike in Gawker pageviews. It's self-indulgent stuff like this that has been alienating their commenters for a long time now. Gawker has devolved into little more than a My Space page for their sycophants and Julia Allison.

Well, it's good to know that Beater doesn't have the whole monopoly on baiting Abbe.

I never thought I would ever defend Eater, but at least when they obviously bait Abbester, they actually let her speak her say [instead of banning/censoring her].

Sorry you didn't even make your $7.50 on this one, Sheila. 400 views doesn't seem to indicate that Leigh Haber is that much of a 'person of interest'. But maybe that's just because she isn't a famewhore that plastered a picture of herself in bed on the front of NY Times and wrote about the guys she's had sex with.

Especially considering that there are far harsher comments from other people in that thread alone (without even taking into account the rest of the site). But it's still not surprising because we have been saying this all along. It's amazing how they feel entitled to say whatever they please about anyone but they can't handle the pressure of being rebutted? And these are people that call themselves writers but obviously don't even have the words to stand up to Abbe articulately. So they just ban her instead.

Pansies. I'm almost embarrassed for them.

And yeah I never liked Gawker before but now the content and comments just plain suck.

Commenters Delight
Hey Gawker commenters! Would you like to push your chairs away from your desks and head out into the New York air to actually meet, face-to-face, some of your commenter brethren? You do, right?? Well it's a good thing then that commenters Phyllis Nefler and the supergoddess are organizing a Commenters Ball! Or, at least, a group meet-up at a bar. They'll be holding court at the Scratcher, a watering hole located at 209 E. 5th st, on Wednesday June 11. Starts at 7pm and goes until the bartender kicks our sorry drunken asses out. Hope to see you there!

hahhahahhaa oh man

ya know back when i was a "piglet" we had about 10,000 members, and after about a year of "the community" [ ] existing, a bunch of peoples in LA decided they wanted to have a big party.
so then everyone on the east coast got jealous, so they threw a piglet shindig in NYC too.

anyways, i didn't attend-- i much prefer to meet peoples one-on-one instead of going to some big drunken hedonistic orgyfest

but then i'd heard alls about the experience later, from another piglet (one of whom i did meet in flesh and blood person) that went to to the LA gathering, and he said to me and i quote:

"realizing how physically unattracted i was to these people cured me of alllllllll my online coquettishness"






i'm just sayin.

this is from a post about frank bruni's review of ago http://gawker.com/tag/frank-bruni/?i=395856&t=how-not-to-charm-a-restaurant-critic

Why don't restaurant critics wear disguises anymore?
For real restaurant reviews what about that crazy chick who occasionally posts here - she has the blog with lots of vendettas, swearing and no punctuation? Her stuff is at least colorful. Can't remember her name.

what i don't understand is that i thought the whole purpose of gawker's audition process was to get commenters that are insider-y and not just people that will say "lol" or "that sucks". but for example if you look at the comments in that thread, it's obvious that most of them don't have a clue.

 

Posted by: swee Jun 12 2008, 06:28 PM

I believe that it was Emily Gould that started the trend of 'executing' commenters simply because they disagreed with her opinions, and the prevailing attitude stuck. It's unfortunate that they can't grasp the axiom that censorship is the most powerful tool of only the weak and feeble-minded.

Oh God. We seem to have gotten a copy of former Gawker editorrecent Times Magazine cover subjectchronic-oversharer Emily Gould's book proposal, And the Heart Says, "Whatever." We're not going to pass judgment, not even about the title. We'll just tell you that it's a first-person "assortment of semi-cautionary tales," in the manner of Sloane Crosely's I Was Told There'd Be Cake (her description), with chapters organized around Emily's tattoos, and that while, Gould says, most of the stories "will have nothing to do with blogs or blog-fame's weirdness," about "60,000-65,000 words feels about right for the material." (Does that number apply to the blog material alone? Unclear.) "While nothing that has happened to me in and of itself has been that noteworthy: Lots of young people have lived in big cities, and have had an assortment of strange and ordinary jobs there are some truths about doing these things and about writing about them online that haven't yet been expressed." Emphasis ours. We can't show you the whole thing people are bidding so you'll be able to get it soon enough, and knowing Emily we suspect she might just scan it herself but there's a small excerpt after the jump.

Uh, yeah, I think it's kinda funny the book is One Fifth and not 20 Fifth, seeing as I used to run into Candace Bushnell in the lobby and elevators and whatnot there, all the time. She would visit Jay McInerney, who lived in that building with Jenine Peplar, up until he moved out to marry that really super-rich woman.
(Also, Jason Binn lived there, as did John MacDonald, and that anchor dude who talks about money on the Money-Makers' Whatever Channel, too. Plus, that doctor that does all the pre-film insurance check-ups for all the movie stars is in the lobby.)

Anyhoo, I just want to add that if I ever run into like, Joshua Stein or Ben Leventhal in the street or wherever, I would have absolutely no problem slapping those bitches across the face. In other words, I would never toss any "e-brick" I wouldn't also gladly boink you over the head with.

I've always said that Abbester should do it! It's been years since her blog started and still to this day she is the preeminent authority on F&B/Nightlife. The only person that even comes close is Steve Lewis, but his writing isn't nearly as good, and he's too busy pandering to all his old friends or potential Design clients (not to mention Joonbug).

Abbester eats out early every night of the week, and just in the last couple, she's had dinners with Brian McNally, Serge Becker and Mudo from Turkey. She gets constant emails from Brian Grazer. And she's engaged to Sasha Muniak for chrissakes.

We have been telling her constantly that if she doesn't do it for someone else, then she should take the Creative Directorship she was offered to build a new site. Abbester would kick all these lame blog's asses. Go Abbester!

One of the main reasons I stopped commenting on Gawker is because the cliquishness is nauseating. They used to have a few irreverent commentators, who made the dialogue much more stimulating [e.g., "URNIDIOT"]. It seems they've all moved on, chased away by the banality of Julia Allison and the cattiness of the cliques who think they run "the neighborhood".

I can hardly bear to look at the comments anymore, but do admit Gawker's newest incarnation is probably the best since Spiers was running the show, despite its disparity.

QUOTE

Well Joshua David Stein, as we're all well aware from your short tenure at Gawker, the amount of knowledge and/or insight you have about the restaurant industry is about as small as the measure of your character.
So let me just enlighten you a bit:

Of all the many conversations I (the official "former maitre d' to the stars") have had with members of the industry (many of them quite prominent), it's Danyelle Freeman's reviews that have surprisingly been deemed the "most accurate." I've often heard it said her reviews are "refreshing" in that they lack the blatant bias and partiality of most other restaurant critics.

And despite her "concern with getting her face out there," she's actually the least recognizable, probably because she appears younger and more diminutive in person than her photo would suggest (as GrubStreet has already acknowledged by recounting the anecdote of my "exposing" Ms. Freeman's presence when she dined at Secession-- titled: "Abbe Diaz Rats Out Restaurant Girl..."), thereby giving her greater credibility than even the supposedly enigmatic critics like Frank Bruni (who actually is certainly recognizable to any NYC industry member who deems him/herself a true professional).

Unfortunately for Ms. Freeman however, her reviews probably won't be missed much within the industry, as another frequently expressed sentiment is that "Daily News readers are the meanest diners."

You're welcome.
Oh wait, that's right, you hate edification. Run along and cry to your editors to have me banned now, Mr. Stein. Oh, NY Magazine doesn't have Gawkers hypocritical elitist commenting system? (Yet, at least.) Gee whiz, that's too bad. I guess that means you'll have to go to whoooole lot more trouble to shut me up here.

I know we're planning on archiving all these forum posts someday and moving all discussion to the main site, but I thought I'd re-post this here, anyway. We love those Google searches!

"Mystified" ? Puhleeze.

Gabriel Snyder was a jerkface. Doubled their traffic, did he? Ha ha ha yah okay.

Newsflash: That's what'll happen when you when you update your content 24/7. Even I have quintupled my traffic in the mere months since my site was re-launched, but I'm smart enough to realize it mostly comes from google searches (more content--> more keywords--> more hits--> more traffic). Duh.

That doesn't make you relevant. My friends on Facebook and New York Blips are far more pertinent aggregators. I haven't read Gawker in months and I don't miss it at all, and this is coming from somebody who used to be on that shit more often than Gawker posted about Julia Allison.

Snyder traded up quality for quantity and everbody is scratching their heads in bewilderment?

Gimme an effin break.
