You Added Gratuity. Perfect.

You idiot.  That just cost you 2%, unless you were terrible and ignored us.  Let's face it.  The idea behind this blog came up during a week long bender.  Actually it came up multiple times over daytime drinks and now we're finally taking action.  We live in Northern Vermont and like eating.  We like drinking even more.  So much in fact that we might pass up a meal just to fit a few extra cold ones in our stomachs.  If we show up at your restaurant or bar, it could be a blessing or a curse.  It really depends who we are with.  We've been thrown out of places.  We've fallen asleep at the table before the entree was even served (it was New Orleans, stop judging us). We have also sat through 7 course tasting menus with civility and dignity.  We're white trash, but we have credit cards.  Four years ago, we moved up to the Burlington, VT area from Boston.  There was a plethora of great food and pubs down there.  When we got here, it was tough to tell what places were good and what places to stay away from.  It's about time someone got honest around here.  Just because your food is local doesn't mean it's good.  Just because you charged $12 for that drink doesn't mean your bartender knows what they are doing.  We're here to help with that.  We're pros.  If you have a good thing going at your restaurant or bar, look forward to reading this blog.  If you are in the other category, don't worry we've probably only been to your spot once and can't remember because we were drunk.  Cheers!
