hillvalley Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Don Rockwell is like the Matrix. He's all around you, always eating, and you never realize it....Before we officially met, Rocks and I were in the same restaurant at the same time on at least three different occasions. The first time Mrs. B and I were standing right next to him but had no idea. He knew who we were though....Rocks always knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Grinnell Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Three theories: Bilderberg Group. Illuminati. Motley Crüe. At one point he may have been the head of all three, but that was during a time of extraordinary bloodshed, treachery, and precisely paired wine.

soapy Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 There's a little Don Rockwell in all of us. Actually it's a group of 15 shadowy figures who meet in secret in a parking garage somewhere in the SE and decide the fate of every new eatery in town.

dlebby Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You know, anytime someone new wants to know who Don Rockwell is, everyone tends to give these Chuck Norrisf Facts-esque answers. "When Don Rockwell goes to a restaurant, he doesn't pay the bill. The bill pays him." But seriously, folks, many of us newbies are truly interested in knowing something about our fearless leader. Is there anything you'd be willing to share about yourself, Don? Inquiring minds want to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Radigan Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 If you want to know something about a person, re-read their posts. It will tell a story. It tells a story about all of those who frequent this website.This I know about the man, his wine preference is Old World over New World, i think its the acidity he digs. It tends to compliment food more so than New World Style. Don't give him food just because you want to impress him by a favorable food review. Charge him if you are going to do that, but if you want his opinion on a dish, send him a tasting and ask for his guidance. he prefers sitting at the bar the majority of the time as opposed to a table in the Dinning Room. I believe he prefers to walk or take the subway as opposed to driving unless he is with his young protege (related). Those are the pickups.

DanCole42 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Don Rockwell is the reason wines turn. Don Rockwell is the one who gave Michael Landrum the nickname, "Ray." Don Rockwell is the reason it's not 3 Amys. Don Rockwell gets his clothes done at The French Laundry. Don Rockwell doesn't have a usual table. Don Rockwell just sits wherever he wants to. Don Rockwell introduced James Bond to his signature martini. When Don Rockwell wants risotto, he just stares at a bag of rice and it liquefies. If you say Don Rockwell in front of a mirror three times, he eats you for dinner. Don Rockwell isn't permitted to be nominated for James Beard awards - he'd just win them all. The Oval Room used to be a circle until Don stopped by. In order of spiciness, it goes: Bell Pepper, Jalapeno, Serrano, Habanero, Standard US Grade Pepper Spray, Pure Capsaicin, Don Rockwell. Between rare and medium rare, there is Don Rockwell. "Surf and turf" is named after Don Rockwell's biceps. Don Rockwell can get a seat at Ray's the Steaks at 6:30 on a Friday. White truffles grow only in Don Rockwell's shower. Don Rockwell can uncork wine using only the power of his mind. Don Rockwell can get to the center of a tootsie pop in just one lick. When Don Rockwell said he was so hungry he could eat a horse, they butchered Secretariat. A watched pot actually boils faster if Don Rockwell is watching it. Ironically, Don Rockwell can't cook for shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, anytime someone new wants to know who Don Rockwell is, everyone tends to give these Chuck Norrisf Facts-esque answers. "When Don Rockwell goes to a restaurant, he doesn't pay the bill.

Karen Resta Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Weird. Can't get your quote of my quote to appear, Waitman. Ghostly-like, it is. Anyway. Can't say I blame him if he hates it. But you know how these reputations start. Sad. Well then. That must have been a parallel universe I read that about him in, and we'll have to leave it at that so as not to upset him unduly. And I will try to avoid triple-spacing. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 please, can we merge this with the other thread about who is Don Rockwell? anyway, the answer is simply: genius. I merged the thread; now you have to contact the MacArthur Fellows Program (I was bypassed in 2008). Thanks for your jibes, harangues, and kind words. It's a little awkward for me to read this thread but, using Cal Ripken (via the advice of Eddie Murray) as my role model ... <smile, and shoulder shrug>.

NolaCaine Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Do you ever wonder if people who put so much time into an image, or even criminality spent that much time on something valuable, that the world would be a much better place? I really like pretty pictures. I really like pretty pictures of women. But I also want a scion to have an MBA and earn a living or give it all away. I don't actually care. This woman has massive creative power. Imagine if she focused it on ending the need for orphanages worldwide. Or anti the anti-vaxers....or just being nice and civil discourse. I'm not hating on her. I am hating on the massive cult of superficiality that is not contributing to our nation being even greater. I realize that this is off topic but I am on the edge of losing my own civility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
