Just last night, a downright euphoric Marcus Saumuelsson told Grub Street that Jeremy Lin had made a reservation at Red Rooster, but after reading this hilarious prank pulled by Deadspin — where they made faux reservations at New York’s most impossible restaurants for Eli Manning and Jeremy Lin — we feel a little bit bad about it! But not bad enough to ignore how hilarious it is to see that Blue Hill will open a table for Manning, not Lin; ABC Kitchen and Del Posto give Manning preference, too; Nobu bends over backwards for either; and Brooklyn Fare categorically doesn’t give a shit.
