Mark Scheffler and his excellent BusinesssPOV crew sit down with Check Please founder David Manilow to talk about his new web strategies and the quest for millions of dollars of investor capital. Last week I thought Charlie Trotter came off as a smug bastard in his web video at Crains. Manilow makes Trotter looks like Mother Teresa. He seems almost annoyed to have to sit down with the crew and share his “genius” with the rest of the world. It’s funny that such aloofness would breed the supreme venue for real citizen’s dining opinions. Let’s face it, though, if I’d created an empire of highly watched food shows, I’d probably be all Dr. Evil like petting my hairless cat and counting my benjamins.
