Fat Mike, he of NOFX and urine-shot fame, has abandoned his tinkle-soaked shenanigans to focus on his ever-expanding belly. Fat Mike has partnered with a pupu platter of restaurateurs (David Massoni and Chef Rebecca Weitzman of ‘inoteca, plus John Bush of Niagara Bar) to open Thistle Hill, a bar-restaurant with surprisingly grown up aspirations in Yuppie HQ, Park Slope.
Has he sold out? According to the chatter at Punknews, yes, but then again, who hasn’t sold out according to the chatter at Punknews?
Thistle Hill has begun to garner accolades for its salt-and-pepper French fries, mussels flecked with currants, leg of lamb with salty feta, local pours of whisky and beer, and a menu of sustainable and environmentally feel-good delicious treats.
Brace yourself for the upscale shininess of Fat Mike’s new MO with this surprisingly honest interview of him playing golf and rationalizing his chardonnay-sipping, delicious existence (warning: part of the video is en Français).
