We are all guilty of primarily gawking at Food and Drink Porn (high-res macro shots, of the colorful shapes and shades on our plates, trays and/or cups), when trying a new establishment. Is our industry summed up like that in a few words, or is there something more?

You remember those unsatisfactory establishments you and I have been to from time to time. Was it an off day? Did we really waste precious gas and money, to munch on a dry baguette, drink a bad mojito or get the squirts from improperly handled pork ribs?

My philosophy is simple, to provide a forum (or bridge) for those to understand many of these unknown, underdog and/or struggling establishments. From the cooking aspect, down to the business end.

This is their story…
