I am ever in search of culinary adventures, particulary recently. Not including my time in London or Hawaii, I have eaten at a dozen new restaurants in the last couple of months. (By the way, "new" simply means new to me, though most of the places on my list only opened their doors within the last 1-6 months.) I haven't fallen in love with any of ( Read more... )

Openings, grand re-opening, soft or otherwise tend, for restaurants, to kinda suck has been my experience. The staff is new & easily overwhelmed, the kitchen is still trying to figure out how to work with each other, there's the pressure of !opening!, etc, etc. Every time I go back a couple weeks/months later, everything is running much more smoothly, the food is better put together, etc. That said: Airstream + bacon jam + tasty food? I can see not waiting a few weeks... :)

Yeah, you're right. I've had sketchy experiences with openings before and I should know better. But I hates the waiting!!! So I suppose I have to go back and try again. Darn.

Oh darn indeed! It sounds like they might make it worth your time though! :)

color me skeptipul. don't get me wrong, that looks like a fine burger but as much as I like airstream trailers (and mad props for the GPS integration), it seems awfully gimmicky to me.

Whoops! Thanky! I fixed it. :)

Maybe it's a tad gimmicky, but what's wrong with marketing oneself in such a way as to draw attention and pull in business? As long as they have good food, then I can't fault them for wanting to get some visibility.
