Does anyone else cringe every time that Tom Fitzmorris says "Poorboy" instead of "poboy"?

I can't listen to him. I appreciate what he has accomplished, but he ain't my cup of tea.

It doesn't bother me at all over time I've come to appreciate it and get a chuckle when he says poor boy or muffaletta.

Not as much as when he says "bisstro" instead of "beestro."

He addressed this point about a week or 2 ago. He claimed authorities showed either was acceptable.

Those fights between him and Bam Bam were epic.

Honestly, if I wouldn't have seen his online personality on the message boards I don't think he would annoy me as much as he does.

I appreciate his food knowledge and used to enjoy his newsletters.

He does pimp a little too hard for certain places were won't name though.

So do I. I begrudgingly admire the fact that he's made a career out of writing for Figaro in the early days (Gambit's predecessor in a sense) and eating free food.

But, seriously, the guy is a dick.

No shite. One beer and two shots and I had to split. I'm taking my lovely bride to dinner tonight and trying to decide where to go.

I listen to his show when I'm in the car, because there's nothing else on. I even call in sometimes, but I like to get in little digs if I can.

One time I called in and asked him which cookbook was highest on his wishlist. Somewhere in that conversation, he mentioned his cookbook as a book I should look for. I told him, "Oh, I've got that one. It was 50 cents at a garage sale."
