Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

B.R.A.D. hates people. All people.

In general I agree, but reading through all of the pretentious rambling to get to the few nuggets of helpful commentary, is usually more than I can take. 

This!!  Here in Florida I actually look for negative reviews from the out of towners and go to those restaurants because they’re usually the very best ones!

So.. a little help. I'm tired from surgery today. What the hell is that?

Didn't Emeril and other chefs come in there to open up shop?

A lot of chefs have opened up shop there.  Either directly controlling the restaurant, or, as Mdot mentioned, signing a licensing agreement.

Morimoto, Art Smith, Wolfgang Puck, Jose Andres are a few that come to mind.

Todd English has a restaurant called Blue Zoo he opened at the Swan and Dolphin resort on Disney property.  I can confirm he actually shows up as one of my best friends was one of the head chefs there and worked with him on multiple occasions.

Cool story.  Iron Chef Cat Cora used to have a greek place on Disney's Boardwalk.  I was staying out there with my wife and daughter one weekend.  We decide to take a late night dip in the pool and hot tub.  There are other people there with their kids.  I get to talking with one the guys and it turns out my daughter is playing with Cats kids.  He mentions she's on her way over.  Sure enough she shows up.  We had a few drinks with her and shot the breeze about cooking, etc.  She looked good in a bikini.

So I called my friend the head chef because surely he'd love to hear I hung out with Cat.  He doesn't seem surprised.  Apparently she used to party after hours with some of the other foodies at Blue Zoo.  To the point she was doing shots and dancing on the bar topless.

Speaking of chefs and restaurants, the new season of Top Chef starts tonight... 

Yes, but many defend "the masses" earnestly. 
My frustration isn't that I hate everyone, it's that the masses don't have to be that way.  We allow ourselves to be influenced by advertisers, algorithms, and tribalism EVEN WHEN WE KNOW WE ARE.
It's embarrassing...except it's not, because the masses somehow turn things around 180 degrees and take pride in their faults instead of, you know, working to improve them. 
All you need is another chode like yourself to avoid looking at yourself in the mirror. 
.
*Note:  "the masses" are approximately the middle 2/3 of the population, not everyone, not necessarily YOU, and not this and that anecdotal exception you want to retort with

And those you consider to be the undesirable masses, consider you to be the undesirable masses in turn.

Same as it ever was.
