For the past week or so, I have been seeing a food review column from the newspaper I read growing up popping up all over the internet and I couldn't figure out why.  I mean, we're talking about a small-town paper and an average chain restaurant here - but after seeing this, I now know why:




I'm guessing it must be a slow news week for this to be making such a fuss, but it is still kind of funny to see a columnist I used to read so many years ago show up on national TV.  I also think, at 85 years old, it's hilarious that she mentions she had no idea what "going viral" meant and that she says "blogger" sounds like a dirty word.  Apparently she is now in NYC this week reviewing some of the city's top restaurants - which may bring another string of unintentionally funny resto reviews.

    I'm with Sarah Louise. Don't see why the woman presenter has to sound so patronising!

    This is the kind of thing that makes me love my midwestern roots. I remember when Country Kitchen came to Owatonna, Minnesota. The whole town went nuts!
