Slave2dagroove thank you very much for your comments. last week was a intense week, not in the manner of "the work" just in the sense of just everyday living kind of things. i can't wait to premiere the "Kurve" video to ya. i hope you like it and find it entertaining. i will talk more about it (behind the scenes stuff) after the showing. again thank you for the comments.

today someone told me that i was getting older. it confused me at first. i asked him what he ment and he said. I like the style of the kurve video. he said no cursing, no killing, no deep hidden message... it looks like innocent fun. i then asked him... well isn't that a contradiction to what you just said. he said no. he said there is a difference between the two.

what did he mean?

JUST when you think you’ve witnessed all the restaurant kraziness there can be, along comes a Kurve.

Frank Bruni on Kurve
It opened in July. And then in August. And then in September, at which point it finally broke its go-stop, yes-no pattern of losing its nerve, locking its glass doors, reshuffling the staff and reconsidering the galangal. Still, telephone issues lingered. For a spell last month, you got a “temporarily disconnected” recording when you called. Just last week, the recording was back.

Rest assured, or maybe uneasy: Kurve was doing business, in its fashion. I know because I was there to hear the restaurant’s D.J. follow up a track from the Andrews Sisters with one from Michael Jackson, and to stare at the futuristic white furniture and all the glowing arches and washes of pink and purple light. Kurve looks like a nail salon on Venus.

It serves Thai food, for the most part. But also Chinese food. And also, naturally, spaghetti carbonara, which I recently spotted on the menu of a new French brasserie in TriBeCa as well. Is carbonara the next tuna tartare, presented by Manhattan restaurateurs as a legitimate player in every culinary tradition? Hope springs.

Kurve struts. Until recently it outfitted its servers in proper hats, which prompted associations that changed depending on how far our meal had progressed, how thoroughly our patience had been taxed and how sinister our outlook on the restaurant had become.

“A Tommy Tune musical,” a companion said merrily at the start.

“That apple-for-a-face Magritte painting,” someone else said mischievously at the 25-minute mark.

“Liza in ‘Cabaret,’ ” I snarled after another 20 minutes.

“Malcolm in ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ ” someone else declaimed as we breached our second hour.

Kurve does everything with a swerve. On the gleaming pink menu, which begins with a page of dim sum options and then a page of appetizers, the entrees are grouped under “legs” (meaning four of them, and signaling red meat), “wings” (meaning two, and crying fowl) and “gills, fins and shells” (guess).

It could be argued that reviewing a restaurant this assertively kooky is shooting gills, fins and shells in a barrel, but Kurve is a riddle and lesson too ripe to ignore. How do restaurateurs pour this much money and this much vanity into a project and bungle it to the extent that the Kurve brigade does?

Its eye-popping space-age look, courtesy of the designer Karim Rashid, suggests an investment of millions, and getting that sheen just right is an explanation offered for its failure to open any time near an initially projected date of September 2007.

Its kitchen is run by Andy Yang, widely praised for his cooking at the less shiny, more matter-of-fact Thai restaurant Rhong-Tiam.

And Mr. Yang, who is also one of the restaurant’s principal owners, has reached out to talented hands to supplement his own efforts. Sasha Petraske helped with the cocktail list, while Pichet Ong pitched in with desserts.

Kurve, in short, has ambitions.

Pleasures, too.

Those cocktails, using a variety of fresh juices, rise above the hack work at many restaurants of this self-consciously glitzy ilk, and after a few of them Kurve’s walls, striped and swirled in the manner of a Maori tribesman’s face, seem less menacing than hypnotic.

Much of the dim sum is terrific, a judgment that applies not only to such straightforward selections as juicy duck or delicate crab dumplings but also to less predictable ones: bacon-wrapped tiger shrimp with a beguilingly spicy sriracha mayonnaise; deep-fried croquettes of tiger shrimp and fresh mango.

And the curry pastes — rich with coconut milk, lively with kaffir lime and lemon grass — are sometimes excellent. The green one over king salmon has spinach in the mix, while the tawny one over dark-meat chicken has cashew nuts.

But there are nearly as many causes for head-scratching, like a dish that molds salmon into a slender, slippery cuff around a stunningly salty heap of pulled and minced duck. Or like the “Thai style risotto,” a viscous gruel that’s served with a clump of pork belly and intended, perhaps, for the Siamese twin of Oliver Twist.
