Rant ahead! Rant! I've been lax, so it's that time of the month!
Come across: a post on Chowhound.
"Help us narrow down our list"! A cry for help. I'll always bite when it's a lonely cry in the night for help.
These nice folk are "Foodies." These nice folk are Foodies with probably a place to call their own in "the Hamptons." And they need our help! Rally forth to help these nice folk find their ideal dining spot in Manhattan, the grazing grounds for Foodies!
But beware: all they mention is that they want recommendations for RESTAURANTS. Did they mention that they also need valet parking for their twin Lhasa Apsos? Or a complimentary ionizer for their luggage? Did they mention that they'd appreciate it with a 10% tip if you could possibly arrange a look-see through the kitchen at DB? Another 5% if you can arrange an audience with Daniel himself?
I'm sorely tempted to tell them to take all that money, invest in some good kitchen tools, go home and learn how to cook. Don't waste all of our time bragging online how rich you are and asking us to be your free online tour guides.
Pathetic. I despise Foodies.
They didn't seem too evil, some people _are_ rich. But thing thing I don't understand is how you can call yourself a "foodie" if you don't cook. A person is not a foodie just because they like food. That would be like someone calling themselves sexy just because they like sex.
