Restaurants that say they have fine cuisine or something "World Famous" and end up being crappy.



So I decided to make a thread about it...

...and it is still less stupid than asking the preference of the opposite sex.

    For me it's the places that claim to be "New York style" and as a native New Yorker I get my hopes up thinking I will get a taste of home, only to be disappointed EVERY TIME. :sad:

    Maybe it is a referendum on NY being a letdown?

    My favorite is when they have a framed award or news article from the 90s claiming they were "Best of something"

    What have you done for me lately?? :grumble:

    In my experience the fancier the wrapping the worse the gift inside. If it's that good the world will tell you, you don't need to tell the world.

    The world tells me nothing. I should use Yelp more.

    That was very profound.
  • Yeah, but what's your favourite body part on a woman? And I just got a hair cut, should I really have grown it longer? Blonde or brunette. Is it OK to have muscles? I have all these decisions to make and I need a your input so I can figure it all out.

    Any part I am allowed to see/touch. Don't care. Don't care and the carpet doesnt need to match the drapes. Yes.

    I had a tranny once that whined when I got rough. I made a thread about that. That was many moons ago.
