I think so!
LB, you should write a weekly review of all of your past week's experiences.
LG'ers can make suggestions for places to try out.
The only problem for LB, the pay is not very good!
What does everyone think???

To be fair, LB: you DID list Wendy's as an example of a great hamburger and also listed your affinity for Pink's hot dogs. This almost certainly disqualifies you to review food _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

Hey! Wendy's on Vermont and Fountain is off the hook! And Pink's is always a solid choice! _________________

^ Exick, because of your unique skills in this area, you were my next choice to recommend as LG Food Critic, but LB likes to talk about food. Plus he's been to a lot places and is eagerly willing to try new ones that are brought up.

Because he's fat. Or at least, that's how I imagine him. Like A Pimp Named Slickback only fatter and with a perm with so much sheen, Al Sharpton cries at the sight of it. _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks |

The only problem is that he'll always give negative reviews to any restaurant that opened before 1980, while saying the older ones can't compete with today's eating venues. The restaurant game has changed, he'll write. He's watched old surveillance tapes with a buddy at the Food Network, tapes from inside those restaurants and you just can't compare them to the hustle and bustle that restaurants have to contend with. Also, today's waiter is much more athletic than his 1976 counterpart, and if you think differently, you're just fooling yourself and should really stop eating out. While people think that chefs from the early 1980s had great fundamentals, none of them could prepare a dish with their left hand like any two-bit cook can today. |

It's true though. Julia Child couldn't carry Bobby Flay's jock strap. Go watch old tape of her and see just how undercooked most of her Beef Wellingtons are compared to how perfectly cooked Bobby's are. I'm tired of people not using logic in comparing cooking eras. Julia Child couldn't make the Food Network in this era. Not even close. The Galloping Gourmet?...THAT'S another story. _________________

If that employee cries WHILE the rush is still going, then he's a headcase and should never be allowed back into the restaurant game ever again. _________________
