headed up by Stephanie Riegel, a skilled journalist and a babe, to boot.

Hopefully, this will improve their craptacular reviews of lame places, unless of course you want to know how many times someone's iced tea got refilled at a freakin' Chinese buffet for God's sakes.

Although, today I saw a pork taco recipe that uses mozzarella cheese, so I am not holding my breath.

The worst is the Lisa Tramontana who reviews sushi bars but will only eat California rolls. Let's hope it gets better, but I won't believe it until they rip a place like Boutin's or Joe's Crap Shack. The motto of the restaurant review section is "if you can't say something nice, go review another chick joint".

Stephanie was a nice enough young reporter for WWL in New Orleans. What qualifies her to be a food critic?

I've seen one too many reviews of Chili's in the Advocate's food section. So we'll see if it improves.

Face it- if you're using the Advocate food reviews for anything more than entertainment- something is quite wrong. All the info anyone would ever want on places to eat can be found right here ...

I hate when people judge a restaurant by how many times they can refill their drink. Dude if you drink 8 Dr. Peppers in one sitting that's your problem. Maybe you should do something crazy like go to a restaurant for the quality of the food.

The reviews are not the bailiwick of the Food editorial staff, but the Entertainment/Fun staff. The lame reviews will continue...

(That is a bad photo! She is pretty.)
