They'll give you the straight dope 99% of the time. Eat where the locals eat. Chances are good you won't be disappointed.Noeleen Clearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214001603008439753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-10623960296536402862012-06-22T12:41:19.325-04:002012-06-22T12:41:19.325-04:00You got more faith in Yelp then I ever would J.K.....You got more faith in Yelp then I ever would J.K.... but I love ya anyways!

Although there is a high percentage of asshats using the site to write reviews, they're not all bad. I can't say much about "real" critics, because as much as I'd love to make fun of their uselessness, if someone offered me that salary and expense account, I'd take it without a second's thought.J.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08168548281519435439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-74795243500055570132012-06-22T09:41:54.077-04:002012-06-22T09:41:54.077-04:00LOL...

I can go direct to well respected chefs in any city of the country and ask who's doing interesting food? Who's doing great sandwiches? etc...I sometimes read Yelp but usually for an address and entertainment. I have yet to meet anybody from Yelp... but then again I don't really spend much time there...Thanks for reading my friend!Pavlovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211091650412970845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-37998158530614538832012-06-22T06:01:42.212-04:002012-06-22T06:01:42.212-04:00Thanks M... glad you enjoyed!Thanks M... glad you enjoyed!Pavlovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211091650412970845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-66269343172332158722012-06-21T19:56:33.320-04:002012-06-21T19:56:33.320-04:00Yelp is the fucking worst necessary evil of the re...Yelp is the fucking worst necessary evil of the restaurant world. When used correctly (weeding out ridiculous criticism or praise) it can be a decent tool to get an overview of the place.<br /><br />I like to read reports on places that I find interesting,from people who are knowledgeable about food, write well, and great pictures are always a plus. Sometimes their biased, but I don't like the whole disconnect between chef/proprietor and the diner/guest/reviewer anyway. Why miss out on connecting with someone who has similar interest? So I'm kind of with you on traditional criticism not being as appealing, but I like reading other reviews.Rodzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217934585720560358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-33643363075907928312012-06-21T15:53:51.899-04:002012-06-21T15:53:51.899-04:00Let that freak flag fly Bro !
