The "There are no good restaurants in TV..." comments...

The "it's all about the water" nonsense, when it's really all about boiling the bagels before baking them... Same thing with the soft pretzels in Philly...

Do people from NYC move to Chicago and then complain about the pizza in Chicago? If they do, they're going to be disappointed wherever they go...

If I want good BBQ, I don't go to NYC and then complain that their BBQ sucks... I go where they have good BBQ...

You wrote, "The amount of food snobbery on this thread is quite telling...".

I am curious to know what you meant by "quite telling". What has been revealed to you?

It means that there are a significant number of "food snobs" posting on this (and many other similar) threads...

It is "telling" me that there are many "food snobs" on this forum...

Do I now have to define "food snob" for you?

A reminder to all not to address other posters personally.

Do you consider yourself a "food snob"?

I am confused by your post. When we quote someones post is that not addressing that poster personally?

Not really. I can appreciate a good steakhouse just as much as I can a good "dive bar"...

If I like the food, I eat it...

Don't be confused. It's an arbitrary rule...

I grew up on Long Island and think they’re good.
