TF's problem is that he offends people. His delivery of information in many cases is obnoxious, but that's his schtick. In some ways, it reminds me of a reality show. It works, though, because he gets people so angry that they continue to give him attention. On the other hand, he had to spend a lot of time monitoring his food forums and deleting criticisms about himself from his detractors some of whom had an odd obsession with him. Finally shut the last one down. I think he's got a new one that requires payment and use of real names or something like that. Years ago, the forums were good and there were some quality posters providing quality info and a lot of it. The place was never slow. Eventually, it went downhill.
I take his reviews with a slab of salt, but they're informative as far as details about the restaurants, signature and better dishes, info on busy times, making reservations etc... The top 12 lists can be helpful when you're looking for restaurants serving brunch on Sunday or open for Thanksgiving, Christmas etc... I also like to peruse his recipes.
He has some value, but I prefer to read his nomenu site rather than listen to him or read his posts on a forum on which he practices his talent of belittling people. He's a guy people love to hate.
Martini, TF doesn't put butter in his red beans. I told you about doing that and I got it from our mutual friends in New Orleans.

I knew TF from LSUNO days long ago and I'm conflicted on him for sure, but I can tell you he is personally a horse patooty. He does have some good info, but he pumps up places that pay him. I used to listen to his radio show on non-football weekends, mostly for the great callers, but he lost me a few years ago.
In the post-Katrina months, when 40% of the people in BR had evacuees from NO living with them, and our traffic & crime were skyrocketing, he was constantly berating BR on his radio show. Lack of class to say the least, I have never read or listened to the asshat since.

What was the issue about the German U Boat he had with BammBamm? That was the beginning of the end.
But as I said at least New Orleans has a daily restaurant and food show that is local. That in itself is pretty unique and I wish I could catch him daily in BR but it doesn't reach. Is he still doing his Saturday WWL show? I could get that one and when I had an office in NO I listened daily and could pick him up until Gonzales before it died.
