Anyone who knows me personally knows just how much I dislike this woman's writing.Wondering, once again, why Kathie Jenkins still has a job. Her complete
lack of professionalism and tact is highlighted in this article.Kathie, it's time to put aside your completely undeserved pride and step away from one of the Twin Cities biggest newspapers. All you are doing is hurting the local
restaurant scene and preventing less-informed consumers from broadening their
horizons. Perhaps you could set up a blog and become one of the many (including
myself) that writes with wild abandon.Pioneer Press management staff, please remove her forcibly if she doesn't leave on her own and consider expunging everything she has ever written from your archives.
Taiko continues to be an absolute gem of a sushi restaurant and the absolute best deal in town.
Averaging a visit to Little Szechuan about every other week. Haven't had any service issues in months, which means going there has not been a debate.
Everyone seems to be tightening their belts, whether it's from realization that one has been overspending in general, student loans kicking in, emergency expenses, loss of job, etc. One of the things that immediately gets cut from one's budget is going out. Consider a few things though before you decide to stay in:
1. Being a "regular" is a nice way to get extras and perks. Do it well enough, and going out is sometimes less expensive than cooking at home.
1.a. When things do turn around, you're going to want to be able to go to these places, so patronize them when you can to keep them floating.
1.b. Don't let a light wallet have an effect how much you tip. If you can't afford to tip adequately, don't go out.
2. Many restaurants, even the nicer, generally more expensive places, offer less expensive plates and specials. Spending a little extra time on the internet before a night out can be a huge money-saver.
3. Ethnic restaurants often offer the best combination of taste, portion size, and price.
