I think Carl might still be around. He was doing the ads a couple of years ago. The weird thing is he started by selling hot dogs and they never promote dogs.

Sure, even my palate could discern the difference between Petrus and jug, however, Robinson's point is we get too dependent on the crutch of the point scoring systems and ignore our own subjective (or if you want to call it objective, bare bones objective) reactions. To our detriment.
-
I think you missed Ms. Robinson's point. To me, the key words were "most people." Wine tasting is very subjective for most people (and I'll include myself) because we don't have the breadth of tasting experience to be objective. Subjectivity is our default setting.

Hollywood, do you ever feel like more is going on at eGullet then you can see?
I only did it until I needed glasses. Honest!

By the time you read this, the L.A. City Council will in all likelihood have banned lapdancing.

Looks like you'll be spending even more time on eGullet, hollywood.
(Is it a
or a 
or a 
?) Have I missed something? Again? There's lap dancing on eGullet? Is tommy behind this? All of the above.

Given the thread title, I thought the article was going to be about lap dancing.
I thought it was going to be about what the customers do when they've had too many and got rowdy.
By the time you read this, the L.A. City Council will in all likelihood have banned lapdancing.

Oh dear...could this be "The Last of Cheri?"
You peeked!

Maybe spending college in Canada helped...but I learned that trick way before then. What i like is seeing how far I can flick my bottle cap....big sport in canadian colleges.....
See. This is why we can't go to war with Canada.

BTW, what was the tariff for this luscious repast (maybe breakout wine and food)?

So if the local TV channel wants to dress some idiot up in a white hat and jacket, have him give cooking tips for the sponsor's products and call him chef, they can and we may refer to him by his TV name, but he's not a chef.
At long last I think we have a definitive answer here: it's the silly-looking hat! Put one on, and you're a chef.
Are you referring to the asshat?
-
Which would you rather be when you grow up: a chef or a muff magnet? (You can be both but which would you rather be known as?)
Wouldn't being known as a chef enhance your chances as a muff magnet?
-
Yeah, but more importantly, does anyone think that the guy who invents Wishbone salad dressing deserves to be called a muff magnet?
Are the two things mutually exclusive? Certainly the guy who invented Wesson Oil should get recognition.
-
Don't know about the food, but there's a great old rickety roller coaster.

(Seven pages, and no Plotnicki, no LML, no Nina, no Cabrales. I'm proud of myself.)
Your restraint is admirable.

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain fell in Torrance, a sleepy little burg, not close enough to the big city that anyone would notice, not near enough to the beach to be fashionable, in short the perfect locale for an egomaniacal cook to set up shop posing as some kind of chef de cuisine.
Enter Trent Sabatier, ex-cop, ex-con, exlax, etc., with nothing better to do this fateful night than to inquire of Cheri, the waitress recently canned from Krispy Kreme for squeezing the jelly out of one too many donuts, "What's on the menu tonight, sugar?" Subsequent investigation would prove that this was a question Cheri should not have answered.

'tis. 'taint. 'tis. 'taint.

Does this make them chemists[?]
No.
More like alchemists.

Perhaps we need to think analogically . . .
If I call myself a muff magnet, does that make me a muff magnet?
Further, would I want a regulated profession that would determine whether or not I could legitimately refer to myself as a muff magnet?
Are we thinking analogically or anatomically?
As a now forgotten Dick Tracy character once said, "The nation that controls magnetism will rule the world."
Do you have to have a SCUBA card to be a muff diver?

And there are always lots of clowns around, degreed or otherwise...
Go easy on Krusty.

Louisa, if your cooking has half the drama of your writing, you're gonna kick butt. Maybe the thought is don't stop writing.
-
I mean, if I quit the law and started some other business, I'd be, at best, a non-practicing lawyer.
You think you can get off that easy?

there is this really cute place that I was at last year - I cant recall the name- it is on a cliff right off the main drag on the ocean. It has windows that overlooks the water and the food is pretty good for a casual place...Im sorry this sounds so vague but I cant remember the name for the life of me...
There are several restaurants in La Jolla overlooking the water. You might be thinking of Top of the Cove.

From what I know from people who hung around that whole Ronstadt/California scene in the 70s, THEY were all loaded while making the music. I'd like to think one can pick up on that sort of thing. Good drug music seems to attract drug users....just look at Phish!
You (or your avatar) look like Joe Strummer (R.I.P.).

Carl's $6 Burger (actually $3.95) really ain't half bad. But their fries have never been any good. And they have changed them several times.

I'm not so sure. Why not ship me a magnum of Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape and a couple of bottles of Petrus and I'll do a blind taste test. Or, I'll drink myself blind, or something.
