Have old-school places ever gone out of style?

In Los Angeles, restaurants with “throwback aesthetics” are the hardest tables to get right now whether it’s at Horses or Gigi’s or Musso & Frank. “Maybe timeless is trendy.”

Is the same true in other cities?


Danny Meyer on how the dynamic between restaurateur and employee will change

Does dive bar ice cream taste like sweat and cigarette smoke?

Miller High Life has partnered with Tipsy Scoop to celebrate 100 years of the ice cream bar with an assortment of dive-bar flavored ice cream — which is basically High Life plus a mix-in. They include: peanut swirl, a “tobacco smoke flavor reminiscent of that unforgettable dive bar scent,” caramel swirl reminiscent of a sticky dive bar floor, a sprinkle of carbonated candy like the effervescence of a beer, and dark chocolate dip like “the dark wood and dim lighting ambiance that all good dives share.” Sign up for a $36, 6-pack of boozy ice cream bars here.
