The Los Angeles Times gives Entourage an iceberg wedgie

Providence Observations about last week's Entourage from the Los Angeles Times' new food blog, Daily Dish:

"The actor portraying the vituperative Harvey Weinstein is already seated at a table sipping a '53 Margaux. (Is that really on the wine list?)" No.

"Where are the pretty rolls from Le Pain Quotidien, served with little discs of butter and a cellar of salt, complete with tiny spoon?" Comedy vs. slapstick. Hunk of bread + Harvey caricature = spraying crumbs. Rolls are for throwing at people's heads.

" 'Hey, pal, how long do we have to wait to get a lousy-ass 'berg wedge?" Patently unrealistic; no one says "lousy-ass." "Motherfucking" would have been much more appropriate.

Yep, I noticed him cutting the bread with a santoku too. When you're as obsessed with verisimilitude as Entourage is, you can't really make little mistakes like that.

Well, it *reads* like a pun. 'ass' in lieu of 'ice'.
