One day I was watching my four hours of daily TV and started thinking, "I wonder if normal people will think the same thing about these restaurants on the food shows". With that in mind I set out on my epic foodventure to see these restaurants through untrained eyes. This is a blog about all the restaurants I hit both on and off the list.

Below are the quick ratings of all the restaurants I have been to sorted by location. I have not reviewed all of them because some were a long time ago but you can get the basic information here.
