Served: The Ballsy Waitress
@mh330 - out of all the mean-spirited and petty comments that this post has elicited, yours has to be the meanest and the pettiest. Sure, people in other lines of work work harder and more is asked of them in terms of physical effort or risk, and education or some other qualifier, but please recall that these other people are compensated fairly and receive benefits such as paid vacation, holidays and health insurance. Servers get none of this, and if they are to get any kind of decent wage, must rely on the whim of whoever they serve, sort of like a seller on ebay needing good feedback.
I don't really support what Hannah did, because she said herself, the big tips even out the loss of the small ones, and generally a server does not get that many poor tips. But your cold response, and your attitude toward servers, makes me cheer for her and all the others who have to serve people in order to make a living.
People like you make me glad I'm no longer a waitress. And I got great tips.
Dear Serious Eats: 'Enough with the Damn Year-End Reviews!'
I like the year-in-review posts. I only became aware of Serious Eats about 4 months ago, so this is not all old stuff for me. Holli's angry post was the first sign of incivility that I have seen on a food site. Even if she was expressing an opinion shared by many other people, she didn't have to be so nasty about it.
"If allowed only ONE topping on a cheese pizza, it'd be _____."
Like nightowl and izatryt, sliced canned black olives.

About minonda
Location: Philadelphia PA
About:
Favorite foods: scrambled eggs, homemade chicken soup with noodles, pasta with butter and grated Romano cheese, cheeseburgers, my grandmother's meatballs and sauce, yellow cake with vanilla icing, potato chips.
Last bite on earth: Scrapple, scrambled eggs and home fries (although really, if I knew it was my last day on earth, I wouldn't have an appetite).
I'm a Philadelphian, and as far as hamburgers are concerned, I think they're best when they're simplest -- a non-intrusive bun, good beef, a slice or two of American cheese. That's the best part of a burger and all I really want. Sometimes a slice of tomato or a strip of bacon on top.
As for cheesesteaks, try John's Roast Pork http://www.johnsroastpork.com/. They have fantastic cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches, the best I've had.
