You don't read reviews of your place and never will? That is the epitome of arrogance, and I respect nothing about it.
I took this a different way. To me, as the chef/owner... He has time for personal complaints/suggestions and welcomes them. He does not, however, have the time to read all 459872635 internet posts from 23453726 "foodie" sites. There would never be enoigh time for that.... As in most restrnts, I suppose he has an internet/mkting team that filters thru them.
I believe your post was quite sharp in repose, thus proving how different responses can be taken in different manners..... Via print. Hence some previous posts/warnings.

Valid point.
He also says: Your opinion should matter; to your circle of friends & acquaintances & to whom it's directed at, not the world.
That's an arrogant statement. Who is he to tell me that my opinion shouldn't matter to 'the world?' It might. Let the world decide.
So, yeah. He comes across as a 'My way or the highway guy.' I don't like people like that. Will that stop me from going to his restaurant? Absolutely not. I patronize a-hole owners all the time. If I go some place and don't care for the food. I stop going. I tell people why, and I occasionally post my opinion here. Where other a-hole posters tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. :)

Meh. If you combine every review from yelp and urban spoon over the last 5 years, it's less than 300 total. Not a lot of reading there.
Plus the OP was slightly contradictory. He thanked the users of TD for all he the praise we gave his restaurant but also said he doesn't read reviews. A little disconnect there.
But back to questions. Chef J, did you see fightin tigers post about craft beer? Curious to hear your thoughts. I feel like the new orleans restaurant scene has a below average beer selection compared to other culinary cities in America like SF, Seattle, etc. part of that is due to distribition but that's no excuse anymore since in the past 18 months we've added founders, Lagunitas, sweetwater, terrapin, great raft, etc. giving restaurants plenty of options to add. Yet time after time, the best you'll see on the menu is an Abita amber or a hopitoulas. your thoughts? Also what's the best craft beer profile to pair with a steak?

I am the internet/marketing team. my biz partners & staff trust me very much. i showed my staff this post/board & they weren't concerned one bit that i can handle a task like this properly. a few laughed at the warnings to me - they know my sensibilities.
