Like jess says, I think the problem here is that the paper feels the need to pander to the lowest common denominator to make sure someone’s reading in the first place. Most people will probably skip the reviews and hit a place that’s convenient or that fits their budget. The weaker the food culture (and Albany is weaker than Austin, I’m sorry) the less there is to draw the food-ignorant majority in to read your review.

I come here to read because the Profussor is a knowledgeable friend, and I want to learn how to enjoy what I eat. That said, us non-foodies generally don’t know what the hell a foodie is, so why would we listen when they speak up? I’ll tell you why: Free beef and cheddar.

People still had land line telephones then.
And that other Jeff became director of the CMPB.

Where does the time go.
