“Remember, if you don’t like these, you probably didn’t follow my advice for what to order. Or you are to blame in some other manner, I don’t know which one, there are many possibilities. The most likely are that you simply don’t have very good taste, or perhaps you are not very bright. Too bad.”
It’s stuff like this that makes me love you so.
Tyler: I lived in DC for five years, but I only discovered your blog after I’d already moved to Charlotte. I nearly went bankrupt eating at DC’s ethnic restaurants. Your blog inspired me to set up a blog for ethnic restaurants in North/South Carolina (excluding Chinese, Mexican, and Italian restaurants because they no longer seem “ethnic.”) I have a technical question regarding blogging; how can I contact you off-line? Thanks for a truly awesome website! Teresa – http://www.CarolinaEthnicCuisine.typepad.com
i am also intrested in doing something like what teresa is talking about but you have done an outstanding job so i dont think i have to …….hope i have know about this website when i was at mason!

Raw ingredients in America – vegetables, butter, bread, meats, etc. – are below world standards. Even most underdeveloped countries have better raw ingredients than we do, at least if you have a U.S. income to spend there, and often even if one doesn’t
I noticed this, coming from Europe.
How or why? What the hell? I thought America was supposed to be very awesome, but everything is flavourless.

I’ve been stung by a jellyfish in the beach once, it hurts like hell and It’ll be a while before I go back again.
