. My pet peeve is that many so called food writers are clueless, don’t do research, and shouldn’t even be allowed to write about food. It really annoys me because I do tons of research for even the shortest piece...

, any side you wanted cost extra (my biggest dining pet peeve is ordering a burger or sandwich to find that it costs extra for french fries and cheese). The food wasn’t bad, but it was no better than what I could have made...

faves. Just on a personal basis, he’s been remarkably patient when I haven’t “gotten” some of his pet restaurants. When I was slightly disappointed with my first visit toBo, the sadly departed Korean...

should go check out the new location. Tried Four Corners Pizza and Pasta a few weeks ago. The food was excellent, but the experience was somewhat marred by the TV. Kind of a pet peeve of mine, I guess. If I wanted to eat in front...

in the three-bites-per-piece scale of these monsters. No. 16 Bonsai 3401 El Camino Real Atherton (650) 367-6547 This is a very attractive venue in a most unlikely location – a remodeled pet-food store on a stretch of El Camino...

all the stalls before you buy. 3) Avoid prepared foods that you could buy elsewhere. My biggest pet peeve about our local farmers' market is that almost a third of it is stalls selling prepared foods, including many that...

? People can eat this food? Look, I love spices, and I love experimentation, but this nouveau blender thing can go too far. I do have a pet peeve against fake Latino food, so perhaps that colors my review. If you want to eat at...

). Don’t you always insist on a cold beer when you go out? Secondly, if you are inviting 10 people and 8 have RSVPed, what’s the harm in having food for 10 if not 12? My pet peeve is when people run out food. I mean...

childhood pet dog picked up a piece of FF cheese off the ground and immediately spit it out. I took that as a sign. ;)

That’s a pet peeve of mine... service should not depend on how well you know the server (or owner) nor should good service only go to “regulars”. How do they know we wouldn’t become regulars if we enjoy...

cultural preference that businesses understand very well. Even if there is no such market in the US, there most certainly is in Japan. Maybe in the US, organ meats from hogs, cattle and sheep are used mostly to feed pets or even...

over, and led us to the biggest, most temptingly stocked Asian grocery store I had ever seen, a black away....The Super 88 in Boston will never seem the same...I acquired the pet durian, which I, and the other hounds, lugged...

close to a TJ’s, but are dedicated BYOB’ers, so I just mailed them a couple of the TJ’s bags. My pet peeve is when clerks put wine bottles in their own paper bags- what is that supposed to do? keep them from...

or condescending/snobby attitude from someone i’ve recognized as a “well known” or “well respected” poster.....and truthfully that has made me feel like running a few times. And i hope no one follows...

That’s hilarious! I’ve never seen that one...I love Jack Nicholson. In terms of the ordering...I find it to be a huge pet peeve but at the same time, they have a right to get what they want. It’s their money...
