Don't Complain About Your Bar Tab on Twitter

Excuse me, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. LOL: ‘Readers Added Context’ to Tweet by David Brooks and It’s Brutally Awesome.

Brooks complained about a "meal" costing $78 at the Newark Airport.

Internet sleuths quickly figured out what restaurant Brooks was in: 1911 Smokehouse Barbecue, where the burger costs $17, meaning that Brooks drank somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 worth of cocktails. Is this — a New York Times columnist running up a bar tab of $50 drinking call-brand scotch at an airport restaurant — really “why Americans think the economy is terrible”? Probably not.

Own goal.
