The Picky Eater

Food Critic

We are picky eaters. Not picky in a childlike sense, with crossed arms and a petulant frown, refusing to sample new and original dishes. But we can be persnickety and we’re not one bit remorseful. When we dine, we try not to be overly critical just to have something to say, but we do have certain expectations when it comes to quality, service and value. If we’re going to spend our hard-earned Benjamins in a local dining establishment, we’d like a beautiful meal done well. Service with a smile goes a long way with us too, not to mention a heartfelt “Sorry!” when things go wrong, as they inevitably will from time to time. Over the next few months, we’re going to be sampling some of the region’s fare and we’ll share our insights with you. And since we don’t identify ourselves to the chef or staff of a restaurant, it pays to treat every diner as a Picky Eater.
