Switch-"much ado about nothing"

I won't even start with my normal question answer format. I'll just tell it like it is. This entry wasn't even a blog,it was more of a blurb. kind of like the ones you read in the weddings section of the jewish exponent. Except their writers know how to write. I don't know if the critic has just been real busy or his dining partner (HILLARY) is sick of eating dinner at weird place, or what the deal is, but this "blurb" was really froced. I mean, who blogs about what they had on their lunch break. Thats just ridiculous. Perhaps the critic has hit the "writer's wall" and has run out of things to blog about. What I do know is I am more inclined to believe the eagles are happy with donovan mcnabb at quarterback then the critic things this place is blog worthy. It is a complete waste of the 45 seconds is takes to read it (maybe less depending on what level you read on.) I am not even really going to go into the details-there's not enough of them and they don't teach you anything anyhow. Seeing this makes me think maybe i should just start my own original blog. But wod's needs me to critique his writing so very much. So I'll stick with it. A piece of advice though critic. You claim people text you for dinner suggestions. I don't believe this for a second,but if they do, they certainly have lost respect for you after this terrible,terrible effort. Your readers deserve more. I'm hoping for better output soon.

Joe's Shanghai-another "diamond in the rough"

Question: If the critic keeps reviewing popular places many people have been and trying to play them off as his own discoveries, are they really his "diamonds in the rough."? Answer-Probably not. This review, while not really so bad, was as predictable as Caleb nickel shutting down Smoke Jumpers. ( OC shout out!!-although outside of Caleb, is any actor on that show currently employed? Those guys faded faster than the crew from Boy Meets World). My favorite part of this blog was my girlfriend Amanda reading it to me in the 5 year old's voice she interepreted Bronstein writing it in. Highly comical. On to the review:

Dumpling notes: The great use of detail and creation of flavor can lead me to believe Bronstein's roommate helped him write this section. Apparently the roommate has a blog that makes the critic's look more amature Dustin Diamonds sex tape. If you still have an appetite after thinking about that, try the dumplings. They seem tasty.
As a side note,the critic tells us how dumpling soup is made. Currently tony kornhesier is telling the story of romeo crennel's life. Somehow, that seems more interesting than wod's soup story. In fact, the only thing that could make the soup story more boring would be if it were read by Ben Stein. Nice effort though.

Kung Pao chicken-not too mild, not too spicy. the red form the bottom of the wok. Now this is good writing! I haven't been this excited since I learned Toyota is offering 0% financing on 12 models. Saved by Zero! Saved by Zero! I wonder if Toyota will still feel the need to do this in 60 days when GM is not a company anymore.

Crispy Whole Yellowfish- Again, pretty good description, nice portrayal of flavor. This is a pretty good blog-the roommate must be involved somehow. I can because there's not a corny bronstein joke thrown in every 3 lines. On to the scores:

Usefulness: 4.

Value Added-this "diamond in the rough" is very popular and I didn't learn anything really new. I'll give him a 2.

Decipherability-Since this category doesn't even really make sense, I'll award the critic a 5.

Humor-3-as thnaksgiving descends upon us, I'm thankful wod's has begun consulting his roomate for help with these blogs. It makes for a more enjoyable read.

Total score-14/20

A Salt and Battery-too wod a review for a catchy subtitle

Question: who has the bigger obsession-wodstein with the food network or his dad with the WB's old hit show 7th heaven. It's close,but i think Doc B does. I mean, he wrote a letter to reverend camden. Next week he hopes to have a 3 some with brooke shields and dr drake remoray. In any event, this is a really good restaraunt,but the critic surprisingly doesn't have much to say. This reviews makes The Hills look long.

While some of the content in this review wasn't bad,it was a short,choppy read and less organized than Beta Sig's homecoming week. Unfortunately it did not include any hot girls or rediculous stories about Kalmus doing 40 shots and banging 5 girls in one night. Point Beta Sig.

There are a lot of options at A Salt and Battery, and the critic really only goes in to detail for like 3 things. He does a nice job describing the Haddock,but claims the Pollock reminds him of the 4th grade cafeteria. I'm assuming this is a bad thing bc shore and his buddies used to torture wods and steal his milk money. That's the only thing that makes sense....i mean,who didn't like those fish sticks in 4th grade. What's next, the critic will claim he hates the simpsons too? way to turn on your child hood you bastard....

All in all, this review was short and not a fun read. It also had less content than John McCain's presidential campaign. I'm not even going to give it a score. It wasn't evne a blog, just some ramblings thrown together. I gave this an F minus. wow, how bout that i did give it a score after all. Don't bother reading his blog on this restaraunt-just go, it's good. Here's hoping the critic's next entry is an actual blog.
