I Like Killing Flies

We watched an interesting documentary last night called I Like Killing Flies about Shopsins, a Greenwich Village eatery. Kenny Shopsins is the owner, creator, and cook and is akin to "Seinfeld's" Soup Nazi in the way he runs his establishment.

There are rules for eating there and if you are not in on them, you'll be kicked out. For instance, no parties larger than 4 and if you're not clear on this, there is sign posted outside the restaurant with a full explanation.

Kenny Shopsins is a bit genius and a bit crackpot, and a unique fixture in the restaurant business. His kitchen is a display of chaos and contraptions which gives a feeling of filth and yet the food looks amazing and the menu is endless.

Part of me would love to try Shopsins next time I'm in New York, but I'm not sure if it's worth the possible humiliation if I'm thrown out on a technicality.

A movie worth renting.
