Odd that I have never heard of this place even though I probably drive by all the time. I’ll look out for it next time and give it a try in the near future. Always learning something new from your site!

Foodgal, we too have driven by that corner innumerable times — never gave it a second glance. I tell ya, folks — this “marketing by food blog” stuff, it definitely works!

As for “the Elvis effect” (great concept, Claudette — I love that terminology I’m sure that’s something you must wonder about every time you get comped an amazing meal, but in this case the majority of Yelp review seem to agree with yours. I’ll report back here when we’ve tried the place (un-famous and unannounced) Fingers crossed!

Claudette: Oh no about the bad meals. I take pains to tell people when I’m “invited” into a restaurant because I know I might not be having the exact same experience as others because I’m there as a known food writer. My write-up on my blog isn’t an actual review necessarily. It’s just my experience at one snapshot in time. That’s why I’m grateful when folks like you leave comments to tell me what they thought about a particular place. I think it helps start a conversation that can only illuminate a place even more.
