“Well written and trendy blog mostly about the dining...”

Michael L.
8/16/10

Well written and trendy blog mostly about the dining scene in several major metropolitan cities: NY, SF, LA, Miami. Also discusses nightlife activities and bars, but what I like best about it is its broad coverage on local events and food-related news. The blog definitely targets the self-proclaimed "foodies", but is also careful to uncover new interesting places that might appeal to a more mainstream audience. Just one look at its list of top restaurants shows a refreshing balance between up-and-coming venues and the usual perennials of the culinary elite.

“Rather Disappointed”

If you enjoy an unnecessary level of political innuendo while just trying to enjoy articles about food then this is the website for you. I didn't know subtle indoctrination in the form of double entendre was a necessary part of food and restaurant reviews. Some portions of it are rather well written but that just masks the oncoming onslaught of the aforementioned political perspective buried somewhere in every article. If Eater.com even sees this; Your website could be fun and entertaining if you drop your inherent political bias and subliminal indoctrination and just stick with what the food is or isn't.

Dearborn Mi has a group of Paid Food Bloggers collecting ten's of thousands dollars and Free meals. They bought the Detroit Eater team with many visits for Free and paid to play reviews. The number one review area of Metro Detroit is Dearborn. DEARBORN FOOD MAFIA

Started 2016 charging restaurant owner's payy up to 30 Grand per year each restaurant to post photos and fake reviews around the web. Almost 80 percent restaurant's in Dearborn pay this group of a couple dozen. They mainly focus on Middle Eastern owner's across Metro Detroit. They have bought off many media outlets to get articles written and spots on tv. A Play to pay operation bringing in millions and not paying taxes. Both owner's and foodie are crooks, just look at hundreds of photos of fake reviews posted over and over again each month. Those restaurant owner's have raised the prices 20 percent plus to cover the cost of reviews and free food given away each month. It's the perfect crime family, bet you didn't know. https://detroit.eater.com/maps/best-restaurants-dearborn

Exasperating to read. If you make a colloquialism that insinuates any kind of an insult towards a sexual orientation or race, they act like it was a war crime. Seinfeld pretty much complains about not being able to do college shows anymore because the students are completely indoctrinated with the "woke" nonsense and it makes it almost impossible to make anyone laugh anymore. So in the Dana Carvey episode of "Comedians in Cars Drinking Coffee", he set a trap, in my opinion, having Dana Carvey play the guitar somewhere in Hollywood at a store and makes what some would perceive to be a homophobic comment. Predictably, in their review, Eater lost their mind and jumped all over him for every instance in the season he used the term. All because it was some fun banter between him and Carvey. Then like your typical Marxists, they took offense to Lavazza and their product placement.

It's sad, this site feels like they're shaming Seinfeld but in reality, they're embarrassing themselves. Did the parents of these writers ever tell them at some point to get over themselves and quit whining like mine did? It's ridiculous.

There are much better sites out there, thankfully. Avoid this one.
