If you like something, eat it. But those who rave about some of the mediocre restaurants here probably never ate in much more than an Applebees.
Well, that is a condescending, offputting "more valid" opinion if I may say so. I have had "world class" food, some of which was outstanding and some of which I would have preferred a quarter-pounder with cheese. I kind of feel sorry for the food Nazis who come on here as they must have a difficult time around here satisfying their more sophisticated and refined tastes. Many of us apparently enjoy going out with friends, enjoying a few mediocre drinks and some semi-palatable food, given the busy nature of most of the restaurants around here. I couldn't care less what anyone else's opinion is of food, music, movies, or retirement communities. I am imminently capable of making those judgements for myself. I am the world's foremost expert on eweissenbach, and no one else.
