I Just wanted to tell you how much I love your website, the critic system is having its revolution and it's healthy to see that kind of counter power emerge.
I read the article in the WSJ about the bloggers getting comped by some restauranteurs, in this article the Zagat people were saying that they are able to find out about those restaurants who ask their employees to vote for them. But to be totally fair don't you think they should do the same the other way too? let me explain, imagine some one wanting to harm a restauranteur because he's a direct competitor or he screwed his wife, or for any other reason. The guy asks a bunch of his friends to put bad reviews on Citysearch or to vote against him in the Zagat just to harm the guy, don't you think it can happen too?
My point is that it's time to demonstrate the unfairness of those kind of guides who just put up a computer system that uses and compiles the reviews they get on line and throw up a rating without doing their job to go and check the fairness by themselves. We all know the Zagat is filled with incoherences and still be (partially) responsibles for undeserved successes and failures.

Keep up with the good job !

Every great french fry I've ever had has been made from fresh potatoes.

Houston's uses fresh potatoes.

I'll second the fries at Beppe. You can get them in the dining room, too (I think they refer to them as "Tuscan Fries").

I've been thinking a lot about onion rings, so that's an excellent idea. I see an onion ring honor roll coming up.

Everyone's missing a big one. Vol de Nuit in the village. it's not quite a restaurant, but the fries alone are worth the trip.
