All right, I haven't done one of these in a while. In this week's review of Tower Tacos, I ponder the risks a new restaurant takes. Now, it's part of my job to give a restaurant more than one chance. But I imagine most, probably all, of you who read this blog dine on your own dime. So I'm curious: How many chances do you give a new restaurant before deciding it's not worth the money?
Mario Batali was the winner, though answers were all over the place. Maybe I gave too many choices?
I should note that among the 9 votes for "Other," there were 4 votes for Bobby Flay (or Bobby Fucking Flay, as someone wrote it) and 2 for Rick Bayless, both of whom I shoud have added to the main poll.
A fantasy question this week: Which celebrity chef would you most want to open a restaurant in St. Louis. I came up with the list more or less off the top of my head, so feel free to vote for someone else under "Other" -- there's a text field right below the choice.
This week's review of Pi highlights the new restaurant's unique, corn meal crust and its dedication to being environmentally friendly. So there are two questions this week.
1) What kind of pizza crust is your favorite? (Note: For "Other," there is a text field in which you can enter a specific answer. It won't show up in the results, but I can list interesting answers at the end.)
2) Does a restaurant's "green" practices affect your decision to try that restaurant?
Voting is open until the end of Tuesday. Feel free to comment here on your choices!
For the inaugural Gut Check poll, a question close to our hearts. This week's review made my preference clear. Now share yours. Feel free to leave comments explaining your choice.
