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?

Just to clean up my context;
I was drawn to this board from a link to another thread.
To gain some semblance of what this site was about i did a search for Boca, didnt read too much, maybe a few posts - fries i think was the topic.
i wouldn't refer to that as review reading.
That's about as far as it went, maybe deeper down the threads there is some negative stuff.
Tone & context are difficult to convey. i hope that gives some clarity.

New Orleans is historically behind in everything; cuisine, politics, potholes, you name it....
We are catching up though. Avenue Pub & Steins have really opened up the market for a lot of the brands we are starting to see more of. Kudos to them!
I'm really not a beer guy. Whiskey & wine are my vices(hence Boca's offerings)
Primitivo will cater more for the beer peeps
