Wining & Dining with Pierre Robert Featured in Daily News Thursday, April 24, 2008
WHAT DO you get when you mix two legendary rock musicians, a famous off-Broadway director, a masseuse, an interior designer, a publicist, a songwriter and an infamous DJ?
A typical weekend get-together for 93.3-WMMR radio icon Pierre Robert and his close friends.
The Daily News was there on a recent Sunday night as the weekday DJ and pals gathered at a friend’s Radnor townhouse, as they often do, for a laid-back evening of food, conversation and mellow lounge music.

Restaurant Review
Ansill
by Adam Erace
Pif is gone. Mengech is gone. Offal and eggs and innards are (mostly) gone. People say change is good, but they’re rarely right. Especially when the original formula worked as well as it does at David Ansill’s eponymous emporium of small plate hotness.
The cozy neighborhoody atmosphere is still the same, with its big wood-framed windows and walls painted fava-bean green. Brittle-boned Queen Villagers still sip sparkly French rose at the oak tables, and Saison sponges in skinny jeans still suck down oysters and Stoudts at the handsome bar—only now they cost $1 and $3 each at Ansill’s mother-shuckin’ dealsky of a happy hour.To be fair, Ansill’s status as the de facto spot for innards and odd parts was more of a convenient pres pigeonhole than a well- deserved reputation. The menu is long and varied; the dishes described simply without invoking a single farmer.
There might be three things, tops, the average eater would consider weird. If this little blond kindergartener at the table next to me can put away the lamb osso bucco sandwich—buttery tatters of braised baa-baa, piled on a raft of toasted brioche, and capped with a button of toasted marrow—believe me, you can too.
