  1. Agree. Thank you for adding the enlightening link Qwerty. Clearly, Myers is a BITTER individual. I wonder if at any point he chose "foodies" to rail against, as opposed to say...Christians. . Having said that...From Myer's quote above; I find myself in line with Bourdains perspective. Go figure.

  3. Hello all! Great to be here. My name is Michael, I'm in the industry, or getting in the industry more accurately. Since I've learned about the existence of DR, I've been stuck here soaking up knowledge and perspective. I love great food, memorable dining experiences, and a good pub. It's great to read the reviews presented here, and I've gotta say - much more helpful to me than Yelp. Thanks for having me!
