Why is it that, with rare exception, street food always tastes good? Is it that we can see the cook preparing the dish with a limited set of tools? Is it that only those with a true love of food are going to subject themselves to...

Although I agree with you on a lot of the places in your post, and actually since I am new to Urbana I’m using your post as a reference tool, I have to say I was completely disappointed with The Ribeye. At 5:30pm on Saturday...
