What Willie Wants

Willie Brown Demands Large-Typeface Menus, No More Amuse-Bouches

Armchair critic Willie Brown — for whom the Scoop continues to provide a platform, perhaps to add that ‘grumpy old man’ element necessary to any community discussion — decides to gripe today about how damn small the typeface is on the menus at Spruce and Quince. “Initially I thought I was the only one that was annoyed by the type size on menus, but after going back multiple times including last Sunday night at Spruce and Monday night at Quince, I speak on behalf of a lot of squinting people. Increase the type size on your menu.” And what’s more, he wants you chefs to stop sending him creative little amuses that he hasn’t asked for! “For those of us who don’t eat much, don’t ruin what I intend to order by taking my appetite away with your tasting experiment.” Spoken like a true curmudgeon who eats out too much, Mr. Former Mayor.
