However, as a chef, I am offended by quite a number of these comments. Spinny: With the exception of the first sentance, I agree wholeheartedly with you. I feel that "moron" is a little harsh. Igrnoant? Missing out? Denying hisself a fantastic experience because things like rilettes de veau, fois gras, and vichysoisse sound "icky"? Yes, yes, and yes. Tempyra: Trust me, when you are eating food that is that good, you cannot help but be happy. To the people who say the food looks scary, is overpriced, or anything of that nature: If you were to walk into my restaurant, I would hand you ten dollars and point you in the direction of the nearest fast-food franchise.

I tend to judge restaurants by their atmosphere (and the range of vegetarian food) because I think food tastes best when you're happy. If anyone has a list of restaurants ranked by atmosphere that'd be awesome :-D The pictures of the restaurants (especially Le Louis XV) are nice but the food pictures look somewhat scary.

I went to Univ of IA and the destruction is breaking my heart. If Big Muddys opens back up after the water recedes, I will go. I love a good steak. Got a list of good steakhouses?
