BATHROOM WARS: CHRISTOPHER’S vs TRUE FOOD
Bathroom Wars,The Lookout
In the first installment of the Bathroom Wars, we pit restaurateur Sam Fox against Chef Christopher Gross. Both have restaurants in Biltmore Fashion Park, and both have bathrooms worth booking a table for. Well, kinda.
At Christopher’s Restaurant, each guest is treated to a private room but when it comes time to sanitize, the name of the game is communal. In between the bank of private rooms is a waist-to-ceiling double-sided mirror. Underneath is a bed of river rock. Wave your hands in between the two and water starts to trickle down. We assume the premise here is an accidental rub against the hands of a member of the opposite sex, without being able to see their face. But whether there’s a Perfect 10 on the other side or not, post-potty thumb wars should be waged under your own table, not outside the pooper.
At True Food, the new health-minded restaurant by Sam Fox, we only have one thing to say: Dyson. Fox was one of the first people in town to install the DC-12, a marvel of hand drying that forms a mini tornado around your dripping digits and renders them dry in 12 seconds. On a recent visit, we even heard a little old lady exclaiming to her friends, “Those hand dryers are amazing! You’ve gotta go to the bathroom.” No joke. Be careful Houston’s, the Esplanade suits are migrating to True Food not just to mind their waistlines, but save a few seconds by using the Dyson.
And the winner is…True Food. When it comes to bathrooms, as much as we are slaves to design, we are also borderline-germaphobes, which in the case of restaurants, is probably a good thing. The sheer ferocity of the Dyson and it’s ability to “blow away” the competition, gives us comfort in the fight. Not a shabby design either…

I think I am going to start a restaurant nearby True Foods called Dense Foods where I will serve only food that is an oxidant.
Maybe we all need more oxidants in our life instead of this negative “anti” – oxidant. What is that anyway?
And what the *$)#( IS an Olivello?
