When The Chips Are Down
For all my years of eavesdropping in restaurants, turnaround was bound to happen eventually. I met my friend for dinner last night—we went to Old Ebbitt because they have an appetizer of homemade potato chips topped by generous amounts of … Continue reading
Need An Opinion? Email Me.
I have an opinion on absolutely everything, and I’m typically not shy about sharing it. Sometimes I assume that my opinion is so obviously the “right” opinion that I’m shocked when others disagree. I guess some people call that close-minded, … Continue reading
