Mercredi, c'est ravioli.
Meredith, oh Meredith, what would we do without you. This week, she writes about early dining:
Eager as I was to dine at Spruce, 5 p.m. feels like a nursery supper.
That is exactly one week after reviewing a place at 5:20pm and 5:40pm. We called that "retirement home cafeteria" schedule and Meredith's "nursery supper" is just here to contradict us. So what one week is her reviewing standard becomes something to make fun of the next! Flip flop!
Then this: caramel-colored faux ostrich leather. Faux ostrich leather?
Or that: "It looks like Texas," I said to my friends, not meaning any disrespect: I meant the moneyed, outsize Texas of Edna Ferber's Giant. She transition out of this non-sense with "Anyway" and we could not say it better.
"This is a real grown-up restaurant," I said, and by that I meant well thought-out and well run. One could write a thesis on the use of "grown-up" by Meredith. To us, "grown-up" is negatively associated with Bush's claim in 2000 to return the adults into the white house, but that's just us. Still, do you believe she has little cards where she writes what she means to say? Obviously, "it's Texas," or "it's grown-up" needs to be clarified. How do Anita and Peter (Aniter, for short) understand? We assume they don't and just shrug and don't look a gift horse in the mouth and take the free meal and put up with Meredith and giggle when together on the ride home.
Meredith is a bad reviewer, and by that, I don't mean no disrespect, I mean she blows.
