But Crave-it Grill was basically just a Sysco truck with a counter. I think restaurants that put some uniqueness into their offering will be rewarded.

Almost 3 hours after the fact? I had higher hopes for your responsiveness.

And a great time was had by all. It was my first time at that venue and I was pretty impressed.

I'm not a follower of either movement, but that's ridiculous

What?

If a customer who hasn't heard of the challenge orders a vegan meal instead of foie gras, even if only out of curiosity, would you believe that more good has been done than harm?

And believe me, those guys work fast!

Trollers gonna troll.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but earlier I noticed that you forgot to add an article in one of your first comments ("some theological document, probably Christian Bible, states…"). You can click the "edit" button next to your comment to make any adjustments if you wish to correct this.

Regarding the size of the icons: it's appropriate for your name, no? Seriously, though, many people who use RSS look to their browser to find the available feeds. In Safari there will be an "RSS" button in the right side of the address bar that you can click and hold to see all available feeds. Firefox 5 and 6 hides RSS a bit, but you can find them by going to Bookmarks → Subscribe to this page → Name of RSS feed. I'm not sure about Internet Explorer.

To me (as a Sacramentan), 100+ comments about a geographically-centered rift over the ethos of our city make an article like this noteworthy. Although your comment does remind me of that Onion article, "'Most E-Mailed' List Tearing New York Times' Newsroom Apart" ( http://onion.com/9ThwnE )

"Is there no way to observe a stereotype and not be levying an insult at the same time?" Of course, but complaining about categorization and then doing the same is a different matter.

You can't get the best of both worlds by taking the high and low roads at the same time. Posting mocking pictures and descriptions of midtowners and then saying that you don't believe in what you've listed is like telling a friend "I could call you a lying, manipulative, backstabbing hag, but I won't sink to your level." Still, it 's a good subject to bring up to both communities. You've obviously sparked a good discussion here.

So your answer to being negatively stereotyped as a Jersey-Shore poser is sto stereotype others as hipster posers?

"a so-called vegan customer has been seen eating tomago (sweet fried egg)" When customers identify themselves as vegan, it doesn't mean they're actually vegan. It just means they've started using the restaurant's definition of those words.

We should ban goods from China, because of their oppression of the Falun Gong. We should ban food from France, because they restrict women's rights to wear religious clothing We should ban food NOT from France, because they stopped the patriarchal view of women's clothing. We should ban meat, because killing animals is cruel. We should ban cheese, because enslaving animals is cruel. We should ban foreign produce, because of the environmental impacts of transportation. We should ban products in boxes without soy-based inks, because they seep toxins into landfills. We should ban high-fat, highly processed foods, because of the children. We should ban soy, because the jury may still be out on the hormone thing. We should ban non-raw food, as it promotes a non-healthy lifestyle. We should ban bottled water in all forms, because of the landfills. We should ban conventional produce, because organic farms are better for the soil. We should ban alcohol, because of the problems it causes in the body and society at large. And when the only thing left in the co-op is a single display of organic, county-grown avocados from the most inoffensive family farm that gave everybody throughout their organization and supply chain fair living wages and a full health plan, all the shoppers will finally be happy.

For now we're only testing it out on the section pages, but hope to spread it around soon!

My favorite so far: http://sacpr.es/XP My theory involves a Sacpress overlord with a desire for flies, a penchant for honey, and an eschewal of vinegar.

Also, although the blogger is from Davis, I've been a fan of Vegetarianized for some time: http://www.vegetarianized.com

Sports nuts drive their Humvees to the Kings game rockin' the Limbaugh like this: "dum-dee-dum-dee-dum". Patrons of the arts pedal their fixies to see Ira Glass at the Mondavi blastin' the Neutral Milk Hotel like this: "der-dee-der-dee-der". Thanks, folks. Please make sure to tip your waitresses.
