Sylvia's diners pan Bill O'Reilly

The primary concern Wednesday in the bustling dining room of Sylvia's Queen of Soul Food in Harlem was about the heaping plates of Southern fried chicken and grits, baked ham and sweet potato pie.

When diners peeled themselves away from their plates to consider talk show host Bill O'Reilly's disparaging and seemingly racist remarks about their favorite spot in Harlem, their reactions were a mixture of disdain and bemusement.

O'Reilly, host of a popular talk show on Fox News, told a radio audience on his syndicated show last week that he "couldn't get over the fact" that there was "no difference" between Sylvia's and any other New York restaurant.

"I mean it's exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship," O'Reilly said. Later he added, "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.'

Caroline's visit to Sylvia's today brought up that memory.

2. Yes, but she did it with class...
"Excuse me, madre-fornicator, I would like to request more of your delicious iced tea. Thank you."
