Dovetail Moonlighting
Tuesday, March 4, 2008

A couple weeks ago it came out that Dovetail hired a Food & Wine editor as a hostess on the condition that she would spot food critics and hand out soignee tickets alerting the staff to a VIP arrival. Well the writer, Jane Sigal, finished her stint on the UWS and filed a piece about it today in TONY. Looks like she didn't help out John Fraser and his staff too much after all: "The coats all have numbered tickets, and it doesn’t occur to me to hang them in numerical order...I push the flower vases too close to the candles and the room fills with an acrid, smoky smell...I’m taking a reservation, tap the screen to enter the data and it disappears. I can’t remember the party’s name or phone number." [TONY]
