[ Krieger , 10/1/09] Here’s another little tidbit from the LaGuardia beat : Andrew Carmellini, Jim Lahey, and Jason Denton aren’t the only big guns planning to open restaurants during the second round of the LaGuardia Airport foodie overhaul .

A tipster on the tenuous situation at Terrance Brennan’s Picholine : “I’m a former BOH Picholine employee…spoke with a former FOH manager there today who told me that the Pich will be closing soon ‘for the rest of the summer.’ (Yeah, right). I can also tell you that kitchen employees weren’t getting paid on occasion at least as far back as when I was there. Regardless, I thought this was interesting especially given what they’re claiming today about Bar Artisanal.

[ Horine , 4/6/10] This week Sam Sifton files on the new, ginormous Tribeca location of Flatiron Indian restaurant Tamarind, giving it two stars . It may seem a little ostentatious, a little over sized, but he calls it “the best thing to happen to Indian food since Hemant Mathur and Suvir Saran opened Devi in 2004.” …have a drink and consider some curry-laced crab cakes and crisp pomegranate samosas, and the promise beyond them of a menu that can take diners across India in the name of flavor , and represent that nation’s varied cuisine with pride and great skill…cooking from Punjab, Goa, Hyderabad, Madras, Calcutta and Lucknow are all represented. …Nizami keema is a marvel: an appetizing sandwich of grilled and minced lamb, pungent with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and a high pitch of lemon zest, in a small bun

Today’s Shitshow Review is brought to you by Eater contributor and comedian Max Silvestri.

A tipster notices some interesting signage up in the window of Passout Records in Williamsburg, asking for kitchen help for a new restaurant going into the space called B.A.D., or “breakfast all day.” This is apparently the new project of a former owner and operator of once shuttered , but recently revived Mexican mini-chain Burritoville . Although a diner near the recently closed Relish, is not a bad idea, as history has proven, the 24 hour brunch concept can be a hard one to pull off . Also, that name.

As promised , a sneak peak at Nur Khan and Paul Sevigny’s relaunch of Don Hill’s will go down tomorrow night, with a “pre-renovation” invite only show by Jack White’s side band The Dead Weather .
