Joanne Lucas knowing that Florent would remain open as some sort of diner but not telling anyone, allowing everyone to get all weepy, really pisses me off. I mean, she shut off the fucking gas this week — “I’m sorry, devoted patrons, but we cannot cook you one last plate of french fries! Sob!” — knowing fully well that she was going to reopen on Tuesday. Good show, lady. You’re no better than Barbra Streisand selling tickets for her farewell tour.
