So, looking back at the week past, here are a handful of our favorite discussions and comments.
Overused Food Words "'Foodie' makes me think of groupies. 'Gourmet' makes me think of someone who is drooling." —Karen Resta
Nobody's going to agree on with my opinion on tipping This conversation on tipping started by Aoife picks up some steam again after going dormant for some time: "The point is, everybody always makes the server out to be the hardest worked, most unlucky, poor SOB in the world.

"... And then there's the point where there's no food left on the table but the oh-so-slowly disappeaing portion on companion's plate.
