Lucky residents of Park Slope, Brooklyn were handed real, physical menus for a cool new restaurant this weekend.

(HT: F'ed in Park Slope for scanned images)

I was lucky enough to experience a special food-critic pre-opening meal at Fuds. My full review will be published in Bon Appetit next month, but here are some excerpts: 

For fear of spoiling my palate for the sublte Greeko-Japo flavors, I started with a 24 oz plain alcohol. It was dry - certainly not cloying like so many P.A.'s these days - and refreshing. I was ready for seconds but our first round of assistants were already on the table...

...The panty slaw managed to skate the line between laciness and crispness that really showcased the chef's knowledge of sashimi-grade panties...

...I was disappointed by the mushed malonies, although they were compentently prepared. I'm spoiled by the malonies my dead mother used to make, and nothing can really live up...

...The Pocaloquitos-style meat saucers lived up to their billing and were nearly unchewable...

...The brothers Mizretti greeted me at the end of the meal and graciously cleared my table. "Bye Bye" they called as they returned to their hrak broiler.

Anything you'd particularly like to try at Fuds? Anything you wish they offered?

Is this possibly the MOST hipster restaurant EVER? Having different and interesting foods on the menu is one thing, but if they can't do something simple well, then I don't trust it.

It took me way to long to figure out this was just a gag. I don't know if that means it was successful or not.

Spoooon!

I love posts like these. I enjoy them yet they leave me wondering about the sanity of the writers. You maniacs are quite entertaining.

Whoever wrote this menu needs to do some wine tasting notes. "Subtle hints of Turtle Sludge and Axe UzBex. Would pair well with Richard Pate and Panty Slaw"

Edit: The filter doesn't like the familiar term for Richard...

UPDATE: Fuds got a real website: http://www.fudsmenu.com/

And everybody knows that having a website is the unequivocal sign of a restaurant's excellence.

It's not legit until @ActuallyNPH is posting pictures of the food with commentary in his twitter feed.

Naw, the most hipster restaurant ever was the one on Main Street that closed last year, although, you've probably never heard of it!

Actually, there was another one occupying that space3 years ago, but it closed before the one you're referring to opened, so you've probably never heard of it.

I'm surprised hipsters don't get stuck in an infinite loop with arguments such as this.

Fortunately, the chef and I go back to that little after-show coffee shop jam session (the coffee shop's gone now, replaced by high-rise loft apartments by the way. Shame too, it was a delightful little three-table affair) where Bjork and Sigur Ros did a mash-up of Army of Me and Starálfur, though to be fair that was before Sigur Ros got big, or the term mash-up for that matter.

Incidentally, that menu is awesome, although as a person who's drunk snake, scorpion, and even ant wine, eaten dog, scorpion, starfish, furry tofu, stinky tofu, live termites, and all manner of other sketchy foods, I'd still be frightened ordering half of the dishes.

Whoa, I don't get it.

You guys are way too hip (snap, snap) for me.
