I would think not (although they may think it would be perceived as that).

My point is the general populace would think so.

Re: Dining Report, Part I: Cooter Brown's and Coquette

You should have known better about Cooter's. One time I was there it had one of those towels that rotated in the restroom. It was broken and part of it laid in the urinal. Not to pleasant a sight.

However, it does have a nice beer selection and a good pastrami.

Re: Okinawa

Maybe it's because the majority of the populace wouldn't have the slightest comprehension of the historical significance.

If it isn't covered by Oprah or referenced on American Idol, most people would think it's just a catchy Japanese name.

Re: Etxebarri ....Best Meal of My Life

Sounds familiar to a place I visited in Barcelona.

So, this equated to about $200/person? Sounds like a deal to me.

Nice report.

Re: Houston's

Houston's is the ultimate conundrum. You want to hate the place, but then they serve something like the Thai salad and you think, "This isn't so bad." Then you look around and realize your in an upgraded Shoney's (well maybe not that bad),

As stated, there are to many other options.

Re: John Besh

Lufthansa should do something. I've traveled with them three times in the past two years in business and first class. The food was marginal, although the wine was typically very good. They aren't even close to SAS, however.

Re: What's Cooking?

Is "the breakup" of the eats board Jon & Kate imminent or is this a contrived opportunity for MUS?
