More notes…
Jan 6, 2009 St. Louis, general food, missouri
- Yes, St. Louis County, the food in St. Louis City is almost always better.
- Food can not be graded on a curve. Even if something is the best a city has to offer, it might still be bad.
- Your favorite restaurant might actually suck.
- Even if it doesn’t, it’s probably just good.
- Food is an important matter. It doesn’t make you elitist to think so.
- Organic has nothing specific to do with flavor. You can eat tasteless organic foods.
- Asparagus is not a December vegetable.
- Being a critical eater is not the same as being a picky eater.

Don’t make me read sixteen pages of STLToday comments. I just can’t do it.

Subburbia: A place where they cut down all the trees and name the streets after them…

These two posts made me love you in a completely platonic way.
And, as a rule, I try to avoid P-D comments.

Isn’t Edwarsville a suburb?
January 6th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Oops, I meant Edwardsville.

Is your favorite restaurant just good? Why is mine?
January 7th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Yes, actually, I do think my favorite restaurant is just very good. I think that I have had great dishes, and even some great meals but, overall, they are just very good.

“Don’t make me read sixteen pages of STLToday comments. I just can’t do it.”
I can’t either, and in this case, suggest that you don’t.

No, no, no — read the comments! Or skip to the last couple of pages, where a dude who thinks Joe Bonwich has some kind of grudge against the Scottish Arms is holding court. Words can’t describe how insane this dude is. In-freakin’-credible.

Ian, I have to wonder if that’s the same guy that came onto Bill’s forum a while back singing the praises of the Scottish Arms and the Shaved Duck. It seemed so random at the time.

Ian, I doubted you. I shouldn’t have.

Mike..that guys name was Alex…and I don’t think they are one in the same. Alex was a much better writer than the guy on STLToday. Plus…Alex was just in love with Wes.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Yeah, I just read both. Alex was passionate, this dude from the comments was just insane.
