Quiz: Restaurant or Indie Rocker?

by Christina on May 15, 2012

Sexy Mother Foodies go to restaurants whose names could easily be mistaken for an indie rocker.

These are eateries with such confidence, self-knowledge, and cutting-edge taste that we don’t need to know a single thing about what they serve. Just know that if you go there, you’re cool. And that some heavily tatooed chef might halt service for a mean air-guitar lick.

So here is my quiz: Can you tell which is the restaurant and which is the rocker?

Restaurant or Indie Rocker?

Progress:

Which serves Modernist cuisine?

Which canine serves Austrian small plates and schnitzel?

Whole beast butchery is happening here in Brooklyn

For fun food, craft beer, and maybe some homemade wine, head to...

Nothing screams "eclectic Indian" like...

Mmmmm.... pork chops.

This is definitely a wine bar:

Clearly a gastropub:

So which one serves beer from Jersey?

Hint on this one: The band actually sounds a bit more tasty. Find the restaurant.

Their menu is divided into "jewels on toast" and "accessories"

Find the one restaurant. The other two are bands. (2 pts)

Claim to fame: I know an original member of this BAND! Find it (2pts, so don't choose the restaurant this time)

If you recognize the J-Pop band, you should probably keep it to yourself. Choose the one that serves oysters. (2pts)

Here find the band: (2pts)

BONUS: 3 pts. Where does Chef Eddie Huang make cheeto-fried chicken?

Find out if you're foodie enough to know the difference

Got ‘em all, apart from 4, 5,6 and 9. You’ve brought back some great gig memories – Divine Comedy in London on the South Bank about 16 years ago! Bauhaus at the Nokia Theater, Times Square.

So those memories are of the music, but how about the food? Too bad I can’t come up with an indie rocker who sounds like Momofuku Ko…. suggestions?

I got all right except the one about the band member you know!! That one was kinda unfair (this is my competitive side sneaking out.) Haven’t taken a quiz in a long time, but I’ve still got it!
