re: What is the board's general consensus on Tom Fitzmorris?

The youtube is hilarious. Chef Duke of Giovanni posted it on his Facebook page last week sometime. I'd have left it alone.

His site is good for restaurant lists in geographical areas and lists of what's open and when, types of food etc... I don't give his opinions a lot of weight. It's rare that folks don't know who he is when he dines there. I'm surprised the restaurant owner in the youtube starts out by saying they didn't know he was there because that shouldn't matter on food quality.

TF ruffled feathers daily on his messageboard which resulted in constant distractions from the food discussions to bashing him and his having to monitor the board constantly to delete posts and ban people. It finally failed and he shut it down. Then, he started another one and shut that one down. Now, he's started another one which requires that you give him your IRL name, though you can post with a handle. The place is stagnant. He's a nonentity as far as food messageboards go, currently, but his radio show is apparently still successful. It has it's share of "cranks" as he calls them.
