EXCEPT ISAAC NEEDS THE FLASH TO CONFIRM WHETHER ANYONE'S SPITTING IN HIS FOOD:  Some NYC restaurateurs are banning diners from taking pictures of their dishes because, as David Bouley put it, “It’s hard to build a memorable evening when flashes are flying every six minutes.” Still, they're trying to be accommodating -- Bouley has invited some diners into the kitchen to photograph their courses immediately after plating and “is setting up a computer system so that diners can get digital images of what they’ve eaten before they even get the check.”
