Stephen Starr's reasoning, per this Inky article that just dropped, is that "the dish had become too dominant" and "people wanted it, but it was overshadowing the other pastas."

The lasagna cost $28. Food critic Craig LaBan said it ate "more like a doorstop than a showstopper". Philly Mag said it was "okay". Google reviews on the lasagna seem mixed...

So, has anyone had the "100 layer lasagna" at Borromini? How was it? Looks like the rest of us will never know.

Edit: I'm so sorry, I messed up on the Star Wars label! It should be Skywalker, not "Starwalker" (obviously). I actually proofread but I didn't notice until someone commented ugh. Sorry guys, my bad!

Hey guys! So I just finished Season 2 of Beef on Netflix last night, and I thought Oscar Isaac’s performance was excellent (though I think Season 1 had a waaay more cohesive plot). It got me thinking about his career…

It’s kind of crazy to me that at age 47, Oscar has ZERO Oscar nominations. To be fair, he’s had better luck with the Globes…he was nominated twice (for Inside Llewyn Davis and Scenes from a Marriage, both exceptional albeit depressing performances) and he won for Show Me a Hero (about a decade ago).

Anyway, I think Oscar Isaac’s on par, talent-wise, with his contemporaries like Ryan Gosling (3 Oscar noms) or Jake Gyllenhaal (1 nom) or Eddie Redmayne (2 noms, 1 win) or his fellow Julliard grad / fellow Star Wars alum Adam Driver (2 noms). But alas, zero Oscar noms for Oscar. So...

Do you guys think Oscar will ever get an Oscar?

Oh yeah, please note: I included both Scenes from a Marriage and Show Me a Hero in my collage, even though they are NOT movies (they’re both HBO miniseries I believe). And Moon Knight is a Disney/Marvel series of course.

Also, fun fact about Inside Llewlyn Davis: the Coen bros cast like 4 lookalike orange tabbies to play the cat “Ulysses” who was Isaac’s co-star.
