I've said IN the post, that I've been to expensive restaurants...I'm not against it, but I just think there isn't enough attention paid by the media to the mom n pop places. All the media goes to the trendy expensive places, whose owners lives don't depend on their failure or success.goodi3shoozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478427871269780721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826343075669855140.post-19263284832092648672012-07-21T13:25:00.474-07:002012-07-21T13:25:00.474-07:00this is the only list i've seen http://friba.o...this is the only list i've seen http://friba.org/index.php?cID=124<br /><br />which is where i pulled those 6. yes, there definitely are higher end spots on that list, but since it's the fixed price menus it also means that it's going to be a bit more affordable.<br /><br />then again, having looked through your yelp reviews, you've been to some of these places, like at least yosemite ranch, and some more expensive chains, like flemings.edluvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610435025386133782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826343075669855140.post-78405585038059680742012-07-20T14:34:57.104-07:002012-07-20T14:34:57.104-07:00I'm talking bout Trelio, Pismo's, Max'...I'm talking bout Trelio, Pismo's, Max's, etc..goodi3shoozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478427871269780721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826343075669855140.post-84608776407175079712012-07-20T14:34:18.887-07:002012-07-20T14:34:18.887-07:00well maybe you and I are seeing different websites...well maybe you and I are seeing different websites...but aside from sal's, I can't afford most of those places...goodi3shoozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478427871269780721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826343075669855140.post-34565076640786033222012-07-20T12:03:34.945-07:002012-07-20T12:03:34.945-07:00cosmopolitan
