      <![CDATA[I don't know, something about naming a restaurant a Best Restaurant before it even opens its doors, something about announcing yourself and the entourage you rode in on before you 'review' a restaurant, something about throwing a little hissy fit when you're big fat overblown ego isn't massaged as you think you deserve, something about making yourself the center of the story rather than the restaurant......makes me question his credibility. Maybe those chefs are just afraid of the power of his penis.

      <![CDATA[Well, to be fair, Mariani was picked as the #6 critic in America in a very unscientific poll of top chefs: <a href="http://www.thedailymeal.com/top-chefs-rate-americas-food-critics/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.thedailymeal.com/top-chefs-rate&hellip;</a><br>
