Food in Mouth

Mimi Sherton is a fucking bitch. And Mimi Sherton, if you think there's nothing in Brooklyn, then you're fucking stupid. My oh my, where are my manners?! Oh wait, I'm a food blogger. Mimi, you're quoted as saying, "The Times has certainly been very exaggerated in its Brooklyn coverage, because most of them live there. They begin to see it as being better than it is because it's so close to them. I would go to Brooklyn if it were exceptional." First of all, a lot of Manhattan restaurants are not exceptional. I know this because as a normal human being, I eat at all kinds of places, not just four star restaurants. And let me tell you, there's plenty of bullshit in the city. In fact I ate real well outside of Manhattan a few weeks ago. It was not even in NY! It...

And my second cousin's parents are supposed to be baller as hell, and the wedding reception was for their friends and family, so I guess they had to have it.

Dinosaur Barbecue Review: Get ribs if you go to Dinosaur BBQ

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is probably the one thing that's an easy bet to be overrated. Since it's a transplant from Syracuse, there's lots of 'Cuse alumni in the city that love to talk about how awesome Dinosaur BBQ is. That's the thing, New York City is pretty big and we've got a few fairly serious 'cue joints. And it's not always the best to trust someone's opinion on what is the best food if that person also belongs on a meal plan. When I first got out of the ripoff that is college (don't ever go to that private university in the village that's not an Ivy), I started working at this weird ass education company doing HTML. There was this guy, Jeff, who went to Syracuse, who loved to talk about Dinosaur BBQ. And this was back in 2004 around when they first opened a...
