Folks sometimes forget that a review can either inspire you to go down that same path or convince you to stay home instead. I’m thinking specifically of a recent comment by someone who said that nothing in Gil’s review made them want to eat at that establishment. My only thought was, well then, he’s done you a great service — you obviously don’t want to go there!

While I modestly admit to being (sometimes) clever and/or witty, I do not believe I can hold a candle to BOTVOLR. His ability to obtain obscure references, funny data points and startling idiosyncrasies far outpaces mine. I’m confident that the only reason my number of posts was greater than his last year is because he was laid up from an accident for a time and therefore unable to ply his mirthsome trade. Now that he is back on the healthy track, we shall see what 2024 brings, eh, Roberto, my friend?

In all honesty any gauntlets thrown down by me should be taken with a block of salt. If laziness was an Olympic sport, I would purposely come in 4th so I wouldn’t have to walk up to the podium.
