Stephen Colbert is sitting in his office, cutting up a take-out salad and telling me what a total jerk Stephen Colbert is. He's a hypocrite. A blowhard. Pompous, superficial and vain. He is "poorly informed but highly opinionated." Colbert is speaking about his on-air persona, the pundit and star of The Colbert Report, the spin-off of Comedy Central's hit fake-news series The Daily Show. Still, after a while, he stops himself. "I think I need to start calling him Col-bear," says the actor, using the correct pronunciation of his surname...
...While none of this surprised New York foodies, Michelin's inspectors seemed oddly enamored with a Greenwich Village "gastro-pub," the Spotted Pig, which won a precious star for its hearty burgers, Irish Stout and liver with onions.

...unforgettable entrées: thin threads of pasta on saffron-poached artichoke hearts and creamy chard, or cheddar cheese soufflé served with samphire (a delicious salt-marsh vegetable). Then sink your spoon into lemon parfait with elderflower sorbet or cold strawberry soup with a Pimms-laced cucumber salad. Every mouthful is a parade of unique flavors you never even knew existed. No wonder curious carnivores are booking in droves. Moderate prices-just over $20 for a main course-make experimentation even easier, and Terre à Terre's creativity and attention to detail, not to mention the smooth presentation...
