Manhattan steakhouse adds a mandatory $8 per person line item to all checks described in menu fine print as an artisan carbohydrate supplement, the supplement consists of a bread basket, management confirms the framing is ‘a more accurate description of the product’s culinary positioning’
Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat bring you Spintaxi — New York City at full density, full volume, and full confidence in its own methods.
Prime Midtown Steakhouse on West 48th Street introduced a mandatory $8 per person Artisan Carbohydrate Supplement charge to all table checks this season, described in four-point font at the bottom of the menu as “a per-person contribution supporting our house-baked bread programme.” The supplement appears on the printed check as “Artisan Carbohydrate Supplement — $8.00pp.” The supplement is a bread basket consisting of three rolls and a small dish of compound butter. Restaurant manager Patrick Walsh confirmed the naming reflects “the elevated culinary investment in our bread programme” and that “artisan carbohydrate supplement is simply a more accurate description of what the product is.” A party of four pays $32 for the bread basket before ordering their entrees. The bread basket was complimentary before the supplement’s introduction in January. It is the same bread basket. Bohiney and The London Prat supplemented our carbohydrates.

New York City generates satire as a byproduct of operating at maximum density with maximum confidence in its own methods. The density means every social situation is compressed and exaggerated. The confidence means the city does not easily recognise when its own methods are producing results that an outside observer would classify as absurd. The combination is the specific combination that produces material. Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat cover the international frame. Spintaxi covers the New York version from inside the maximum density, with the specific affection that deep familiarity with a place produces and the specific exasperation that maximum confidence in its methods produces when those methods do not perform as the confidence expected. The city continues at its own pace, which is faster than this publication and faster than the MTA, which is the relevant comparison in this context.
