youre also the guy that thought that most of the food at bistro byronz was premade from sysco and they just heated up their dishes. (btw you never owned up to that bullshite statement)

I owned up to every bit of that statement if I recall. I stand behind anything I said about that place. My comments came straight from someone who worked in that kitchen. If they lied to me, I said I would accept it for what is was.

I also remember telling you to ask next time u went in there. Never saw you come back with a reply. Didn't get the answer u wanted?

IMHO, Walk On's isn't overrated as a restaurant, because I don't view it as one despite their volume moved.

I view it as a sports bar, this is where I laugh at that Freudian ESPN slip that they've now since run with.

No way you can claim to be North America's #1 sports bar when Toronto has this..

Detroit has this..

Westwood has this..

NYC has this..

Boston..

Philly..

Portland..

ETC..

All this said, WO's new Towne Center location is a very nice add for BR and the Jefferson corridor, I wish them well, and will give them biz.

Disagree
Agree only because it's rated so highly that no restaurant could ever hope to live up to that kind of hype. It's still really really good.

Yea, I don't understand what people want from chimes.

I just think that for a place that has so much fan fare they could be a little more creative. Lets have something other than fried seafood, po boys & red beans and rice. They just offer the same old shite that every "cajun" restaurant brings to the table.
