Now that it's been a month, everybody whowants to go to Sujeo my friends and neighbors and fellowdie hard food lovers who've been following Tory Miller's every menu sneak peek and noodle tweet and design choice have already been.
They've tried the whole fish. They've sniffed at "soggy" bibimbap.iphone 5s refurbished They've wrestled with the "highly interactive" chili crab.
Diners have already found Sujeo's dan dan noodles "spicy and delicious" and the General Tso chicken livers overpriced (one could have guessed that the L'Etoile chef's sourcing of higher quality meat for casual Asian dishes would lead to some sticker shock).
In my favorite Yelp review maybe ever, Raphael Azcueta breaks it down:
"If all you want is to know what to get to be safe at the scary foreign restaurant: Khao Soi is loud and flavorful and familiar to Thai curry fans. The Shio Ramen is really well executed, rich and contemplative. Chili Crab is hard to eat on dates (which can be impressive to the sexiest of ladies).
"The KBC (Korean Broasted Chicken) and the General Tso Chicken Livers are both hip and accessible. Japchae and, I've heard, the BBQ Pan Fry are both accessible but less hip. Also, get the soft serve."
Who needs a better "how to Sujeo" than that, right?
What I would normally do go quietly with articulate, intrepid friends, order a variety of dishes, repeat, iphone 5s refurbished and write feels like an afterthought for a restaurant that has already received so much attention. Since he wasn't called to review this time, I snagged him for my own nefarious uses. I (almost) believe this man will someday find me a non lambic beer I want to drink a whole pint of.
My friend Bowen Close teaches cooking classes locally, works for REAP Food Group and spent a year traveling the world with her husband, including several months in southeast Asia.
Finally, my colleague Jessie Opoien writes about politics for The Cap Times, but she also has a not so hidden passion for all things bacon. She's an adventurous eater with a good palate. When it comes to juggling an iPhone and a steaming bowl of noodles, I trust her implicitly to get the shot.
We want to blow this restaurant review thing wide open, at least this one time, and see what happens. Our collected thoughts will appear online and in print next week.
After all, Twitter may have already changed restaurant reviewing, perhaps for the better. The site was only three years old when,iphone 5s refurbished in 2009, The Guardian's Tim Hayward began to wonder if "Twitter couldn't have been designed for restaurant reviews."
"We have all the advantages of self publishing, digital consumer advocacy and the wisdom of crowds," he wrote. "At the same time we have a medium that prevents reviewers doing 4,000 word posts based entirely around repetition of the sentence 'the XXXness of the XXX perfectly complemented the XXX of the XXX.'"
