Slammed. "The voice of restaurant people."

Has anyone ever seen this magazine?

"I've caught you Richardson, stuffing spit-backs in your vile maw. 'Let tomorrow's omelets go empty,' is that your fucking attitude?" -E. B. Farnum

"Behold, I teach you the ubermunch. The ubermunch is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: the ubermunch shall be the meaning of the earth!" -Fritzy N.

It has been around for several years as a local Boston-area publication. About six months ago or more they started pushing as a national. I have yet to subscribe, although I thought their more local coverage was excellent.

:blink:  Why would you have called it that? 

We also say "in the shits" instead of "slammed" or "weeded". When I say we, I mean the people I work with.

Can you post the whole list(s) of good and bad critics? It sounds amusing.

Slammed is a pretty cool magazine. I've spoken with the EIC and Publisher, they seem like a really nice bunch of folks that actually get it. We're likely going to be talking to them about stuff that they and we can do together.

Me too. The page tried to execute "Download.Ject" and my system quarantined it. It could just be adware, but never trust code being downloaded from the 'net and self-executing.

I'd like to see the critic list, too.

TomH...

BRILLIANT!!!

HOORAY BEER!

Any computery people out there who can shed some light on why their website is giving people viruses or virus warnings? Seems odd to me. The site hasn't been updated in a while because the issue being highlighted isn't the current one.

What an annoying website.

And it's "in the weeds," where I come from.

What don't you like about it? It seems like a fairly clean design. I actually have enjoyed the articles quite a bit, especially the New York food critics report card article in the current issue.

I met with the publisher and managers of the magazine for lunch this week -- they've patterned the publication after "Wired", in terms of the editorial approach and style.

Woah..well...maybe they'll change the title for you if you say pretty please with sugar on top. :blink: My only regret is that I paid $27 for the magazine proper. Most of the featured articles one can read right there on their....nice little website. :smile:
