  • Few know, but the early 90s movie "Glengary Glen Ross" was originally about the lemon ricotta pancakes at the Inn on Coventry. Crazy, right? Anyway, my Hollywood source (full disclosure: it's Carrot Top) gave me the initial copy of Alec Baldwin's famous monologue where he tears into the employees for being awful salesmen. In the original pancake version, he's screaming at them for trying to drown out Coventry's fine balance between lemon and ricotta with a heavy, sticky syrup: "Put. That. Syrup. Down. Syrup's for posers only. Do you think I'm f---ing with you? I am not f---ing with you. I'm here from Bon Appetit magazine and I'm here on a mission of mercy. Your name's Levene? ... You call yourself a pancake eater, you son of a bitch? You taste this lemon? You taste this ricotta? ... That pancake has more intricate engineering than your car. I had 970 'Useful, Funny, Cools' on Yelp last year. How many you have? You see, pal, that's who I am. And you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good home cook? F--- you, go semi-home make some Eggos with syrup! You can't taste the delicate brush strokes of lemon on the ricotta canvas, you can't taste shit! You are shit! Hit the bricks pal and beat it 'cause your palate will not appreciate that this pancake is derived from a cheese batter and yet isn't too heavy and doesn't stray too far away from the consistency of a pancake! You think this is abuse?! You think this is abuse, you c---sucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you're going to get on Chowhound when they find out you perverted one of Cleveland's best pancakes? You don't like it, leave. Coventry Inn can go out there tonight with the materials you got and make 15 foodies wet their skinny jeans." The film was later reworked as a sales movies when test groups didn't find Kevin Spacey's character believable as one of the sweet old waitresses Coventry has in surplus.
