This week, the food-atribe: Special guest Laura Shunk, food critic for Westword, joins Joel Warner and Jared Jacang Maher to discuss the following:
Being a food writer in the age of Yelp; If everyone’s a critic, what does it mean to be, um, a “real” critic? What’s the difference? Is Yelp merely a mob of the misinformed subjecting gourmands to the gour..mob?
Read Lori Midson’s blog post that kicked off a local Yelper shitstorm.
Thanksgiving dinner: What if you hate turkey, stuffing, football, America etc…? What restaurants are open in Denver? Parallel 17, and Niwot’s Colterra are among the nontraditional Thanksgiving fare available, commie.
Finally, we discuss what type of restaurant we’d open in Denver if time and money didn’t stand in the way.
LOVE AND HATE:
Laura hates on ski season hyperbole; think “epic pow-pow.”
Jared hates passes around the 40 of alcoholic energy drinks, Four Loko.
Joel hates on phone/email status signatures “sent from my iTouch Maxie.”
John was out of town, but would like to point out to Joel Warner and others that his iPhone signature has read, “Sent from my status symbol” for several months now.
