It's really annoying when people (and especially disgustingly, couples with no kids) think that other people care what they think about restaurants. It's impossible to read Yelp! for more than two posts on a restaurant without losing faith in humanity. Hopefully this site won't be like that, but who knows, maybe we are way more annoying than we thought.
Since you have gotten this far and haven't gone to Yelp! yet, here are some guidelines to help you calibrate your tastes to our (more correct) tastes:
- Yelp! is lame because people always allow the service of a place to influence their rating. That's stupid because servers get fired and go to jail all the time. Plus, unless someone farts in my clam chowder, I'm willing to let even the worst service to slide.
- People also rate a bar or restaurant's decor on Yelp! This is slightly less annoying, but you're out of your stupid house, so stop complaining. Again, unless the decor seriously affects the food, just because you have a license plate from Oklahoma and a pitchfork on the wall, it won't affect our opinion.
- We are generally open to trying new types of food, but our tastes are pretty straightforward when we venture out. Except Indian food. Too scary.
- We have no formal training or understanding of what makes food and drink critically-acclaimed, or any interest in learning that. You can stuff your refined palette in a sack.
- Generally, we aren't big drink snobs. Mr. QCE likes Bud Light and a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and Mrs. QCE likes white wine and a BLT.
Anyway, if that sounds like you, we will probably like the same stuff. If we sound like food simpletons, you probably write annoying reviews on Yelp! and have no friends.
