- 2013 September 17, Deidre Schipani, “Green Goat grazes on penchant for local, homestyle”, in The Post and Courier—Charleston Scene[1]:
- If you were expecting goat on the menu, you are out of luck except for the goat cheese garnish to salad, a topping for burgers and a flavor enhancement to smashed potatoes. No goat curries, ragus, barbecue or ribs. No trendlet “chevon” to tempt the foodistas. Not even a Coach Farm cheesecaket.
- 2017, David Downie, A Taste of Paris: A History of the Parisian Love Affair with Food, New York: St. Martin's Press, →ISBN, page 266:
- Are they elite? Foodistas and fashionistas seem to blur and merge when they gush about the emperor's new nouvelle cooking or the latest clothing trend. […] History is a great foil, reminding anyone who studies it that poseurs and pseuds are nothing new. By other names, foodistas and fashionistas have been part of the Paris scene since at least the seventeenth century.

- Repéré par tous les réseaux de foodistas depuis son lancement, en 2011, le Braisenville a imposé son décor, censé évoquer la palette chromatique du barbecue (lustres orange braise, briques noir charbon, sol ciment gris cendre), et un vrai concept culinaire.
