Too much leeway leads to things like Applebees and such. Obviously, some people must think it is good so I just would rather people not support places that offer worse quality for the same money and similar other circumstances. I just try to point out that there is a difference. Is there not? Or is everything the same? If you even say, well, that example is extreme, the logic is the same.Places are either extremely close or not, why go to the worse one, mitigating factors not applying, of course. Although, I find most of those to be hogwash. If a restaurant falls below a certain level for the expectation it has with me, then that is it. Everytime there is another chance given, it is just more wasted money. I think what you did not understand about my point on my statements is that I am constantly vigilant about why I like something. I try to make sure I am not just in a rut or used to it. I certainly do not favor anything because it is the new thang or 2 blocks away from me. How many times will you see a question of what's good asked and you see 20 answers, 10 of which you or anyone else besides the poster would say are absurd. At the same time, most new things are not better than the standards, unfortunately, but we hope for more great spots. Not more crap. Nobody could be more over themselves than I am, so you know. Thanks for reading. NTG Takes strong language to get a point across.

Get over yourself. Like every other reviewer and/or blogger out there, you're subjective. You have an opinion. Own up to it and get on with it. The info you provide is valuable, but admit that it's your, personal, qualified opinion.
