Awww TL. You're so sweet!
Thanks Jazz! I assume that's Seeds in Brooklyn?
CVF, regarding Gifford's, that's a mighty bold claim. So it's made locally,right? A little googling suggests it's available at the Farmer's Market, huh? I need to check it out.
Tobin, you don't have Twitter? You don't read Cream? That's where everyone found out about it.
And somehow, I'm guessing the chances of you going to a midnight show on a weeknight are extremely slim.
@S L: I had no intention of trolling. Frankly, I was looking for a good open thread conversation starter, and thought the airline ramen hissy fit was an amusing story. Apparently you didn't find the humor in it.
I don't recall drawing my own conclusions about your experiences. I only said I think it's difficult for someone to judge the value of something they haven't tried. I was under the impression you hadn't tried Otaku South's ramen. If you have tried it, and found that it wasn't a good value, then I apologize.
But I feel strongly that it's hard to judge the value of something you haven't tried. That's just my opinion. And we love to hear other opinions too! But that doesn't mean we feel obligate to agree with them.
I'm not sure why you took this post personally. I was in no way targeting it at you. But if you were offended, my apologies.
Oh, I listened, Ben. But I take issue with your point.
I will accept that it's more expensive than you're willing to pay. That has nothing to do with VALUE. You can't judge the value of something you haven't tried.
That's essentially saying, "I don't know what it is, but I know it's not worth it."
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Proposes a Moratorium on Reclaimed Barnwood”
@37210:
All my teasing about reclaimed barnwood aside, I'm a big fan of Barista. In fact, I just came from there. And actually, I think it's one of the more aesthetically pleasing coffee houses in town, and it's actually fairly clean and minimal to my eyes. Of course, it helps that I'm a huge fan of Bryce McCloud's prints.
