I will persue my own place this year...I guess I didn't fit in with the El Gaucho kitchen.

Especially the famous El Gaucho kitchen spelling bee.

I guess I should be thankful that at least some of it was pulled out into footnotes - but really, at that point, why bother? Might as well go for broke and just shove it ALL the fuck in there.

On top of that background, Mr. Levine earns points for responding with equanimity. Coupled with his less-egregious grammar/orthography offenses, he wins.

Sharp is guilty of punctuation and grammar infractions. Look at that faulty parallelism! "...of excellence, quality, consistent, and treating all staff with respect."

Levine is guilty of lazy spelling and punctuation.

For me, the faulty parallelism decides it. There's just no excuse for that.
