Once again, I feel compelled to comment on the mediocrity of restaurants and the utter lack of originality that’s being foisted upon us.
I have previously mentioned about how aggravated I get when I read about the new bagel shops or ice cream joints opening. Just to review, whenever a new bagel joint opens, there’s usually some article in the local paper where the owner talks about how they’re offering something totally new, serving a need just begging to be fed: a bagel store with fresh-baked bagel sandwiches, featuring premium deli meats and fresh-made salads. Yeah, like that’s never been done before. Or when a new ice cream shop opens, like Coldstone Creamery. The newspaper propaganda tells us that their concept is sooooooooooooo unique: take semi-premium ice cream and disguise the mediocrity with….hold on….wait for it…”mix-ins”!!!!!! Whoa, hold on there one cotton-pickin’ minute. You mean mix-ins, like M & Ms, Reeses’ Peanut Butter Cup, Heath Bars pieces, Oreos???? I can barely contain my excitement. Who would have thought of such a thing…maybe Steve Herrell, in the 1970s! What kind of suckers do these people think we are?
Well, today, I read I am reading the MetroWest Daily News, discussing the arrival of P.F. Changs in Natick. I am excerpting part of the article, and I am interweaving my comments therein. I can barely control myself:
"… The highest-price item on the menu is $20."
Eric says: I can’t remember the last I went out for Chinese food and saw an item above $11.95. If something’s coming out at $20.00, then Iron Chef Chen Kinichi better come out and feed it to me, and bring some girls with him because, never mind the fortune cookie, I want a different ending...a much "happier" one! For that price, it better come with gold chopsticks, which I will later use to poke my own eyes out, after paying $20 for a Chinese food dish.
“…P.F. Chang's is also a family-style dining restaurant. We each order our preference, but it's not served to us. It's served to the center of the table with serving spoons…The goal of a P.F. Chang's meal, according to its Web site, is "to attain harmony of taste, texture, color and aroma by balancing the Chinese principles of fan and t'sai. Fan foods include rice, noodles and dumplings, while vegetables, meat, poultry and seafood are t'sai foods. Chefs also use Mandarin-style wok-cooking.”
Eric says: Really, this is new to me. Totally shocking. I usually go out for Chinese food and order three or four things and have them all put in front of me, and stuff myself stupid until I explode (like I did 30 years ago at the House of Roy in Chinatown, the week before my bar mitzvah. Happy to share the gory details if anyone cares. Just ask.)
C’mon, GMAB! Communal Chinese food…that’s crazy. Who would ever do that? Actually share the food and not gorge myself? How does this work? Is everybody digging in? These PF Chang people are brilliant-I have never had any food prepared in a unique wok-style of cooking; where have I been all these years?
I cannot believe people actually have rice or noodles with the meat dishes. Its like mixing dairy and meat! My whole world is upside-down. I’m living in “Bizarro World”.
“Traditional dishes include shrimp with lobster, crispy honey chicken and pepper steak. Chicken dishes include orange peel chicken, ginger chicken with broccoli and ground chicken with eggplant. Meat dishes include wok-charred beef, spiced lamb and sweet-and-sour pork. Seafood dishes include wild Alaskan sockeye salmon steamed with ginger, marinated sea bass and lemon pepper shrimp. The restaurant also offers noodle, rice and mein dishes, vegetarian plates, side orders and mini-desserts. It also serves traditional lunch bowls daily until 4 p.m. Each one comes served on a bed of rice with a cup of egg drop or hot-and-sour soup. Choices include almond and cashew chicken, citrus soy salmon and beef with broccoli.”
Eric says: Wait, Wait, WAIT!!!!! I have never heard of such food. Sweet and sour pork? Sounds delightful and delectable. I can actually go at lunch, and get a lunch bowl that comes with soup, and something as gourmet and exotic as beef and broccoli over rice? I cannot believe that its 2008 and no one has thought of this. I am so happy, and privileged to think that PF and friends have decided that its time for the suburbs to enjoy these traditional and exotic flavors. It's like a party in my mouth...
I’m done now. Just tell me this, PF: what kind of rubes do you really think we are? Is the rest of America so cloistered, so ignorant, that you can come and spread your propaganda and expect us to bow down at the altar of PF Chang? You’ll quickly join the likes of Coldstone Creamery as places I will not patronize. I would feel much better of you just advertised yourself as “over-priced Chinese Food chain restaurant.” General Mills/Darden couldn’t make it with “China Coast.” But, hey, your concept is sooooooooooooo cutting edge…good luck.
The next thing you know, someone might try to flatten out some dough, sprinkle some tomato sauce and toppings on it and bake it. Do you think I could find that anywhere?
You’ve been a great audience…enjoy Dan Hill…
One man's critical view of the world in which we live, as he fights for the rights of diners, retail shoppers, television and movie viewers...for consumers everywhere!

Brilliance in writing
There is brilliance in writing and brilliance in its delivery. This is an example of both, though I will leave it to you to determine who wrote it and who delivered it, and in what context. One of my favorites...but maybe because of its context.
THERE'S NO EARTHLY WAY OF KNOWING,
WHICH DIRECTION WE ARE GOING,
THERE'S NO KNOWING,
WHERE WE'RE ROWING,
OR WHICH WAY THE RIVER'S FLOWING.
IS IT RAINING?
IS IT SNOWING?
IS A HURRICANE A-BLOWING?
BLEH!
NOT A SPECK OF LIGHT IS SHOWING,
SO THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING.
ARE THE FIRES OF HELL A GLOWING?
IS THE GRISLY REAPER MOWING?
YES!
THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING,
FOR THE ROWERS KEEP ON ROWING,
AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT SHOWING
ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!

Idol-Results
I have decided that, at least for the women, this is definitely the top 12...the top 12 best looking.
It’s nice they put Carly in a dress that matches her tattoos.
Uh oh…Garret Haley/Leif Garret/Lance Kerwin/James at 17 goes home.
Amy Davis…her cups runneth over…and out.
Joanne…I’m sure she got the warning from the Psychic Friends Hotline.
Colton Shore…going home. This is a surprise. There are at least a half-dozen other guys who could have gone home tonight, even Danny “General Manuel” Noriega. Like his separated at birth twin, Boris Becker, Colton just didn’t spend much time at the top.
Colton’s dad is still giving Simon the “you talkin’ to me?” look. Simon better get an escort to his car…he’s not dealing with Rupert Pupkin.
Until next week, when we waste more time…watching the worst top 18.

Now, for the American Idol Ladies...
This is the beauty of TIVO/DVR…I am watching last night, skipping the commercials, while you people are watching the results…or not.
Let me say at the outset…Paula’s a “chucklehead.” You can’t understand half of what she’s saying.
Do people know that Randy is Samuel L. Jackson’s cousin…I half expect him to bust out one night with “Yo mutha (bleep), you f-ing worked it out! Dawg!”
Christy Lee Cook: Cowboy up! “Rescue me”-not too bad. I get the sense that she’s a little behind the music…they’re trying to pull her along a bit, like by a half a beat. Sort of like the Clydesdales pulling the Budweiser cart…Not the most energetic performance…Randy is down on her, everyone is down on her.
Joanne Borgella: Sings like more like Frank Langella. Dionne Warwick…Burt Bacharach- you’re talking my language. But Borgella better be saying a little prayer to stay through next week.
As an aside, I really like Simon. Shoots straight from the hip and tells it like it is. I could do that too.
Alaina Whitaker/Carrie Underwood/Jamie Lynn Spears-needs some orthodontia. I love you more today than yesterday…I think I do. I didn’t start off liking her, but I think I’m with Randy and Simon on this one.
Amanda Overmyer: She’s an “old” 23. She’s got a voice like 10 miles of ripped up road and with that voice, she can blow…but I’d like to understand what she’s saying.. I’m a little envious of the hair. And she’s moving like John Belushi doing Joe Cocker. My nickname for her-“Lucky Strikes”.
Amy Davis: I can give you 36D reasons why she made it through to the top 24. “Where the Boys Are?” I’ll tell you…running to their rooms right now… for earplugs, and other things.
Brooke White: The “No R-rated movies” girl. Carole King wannabe. Happy together…like Paula and vodka.
Alexandrea Lushington: Spinning Wheel. She’s no David Clayton Thomas. She’s no Michael Clayton, Clayton Moore or Dave Thomas either.
Kady Malloy: An unhealthy obsession with Britney Spears…like the rest of the country. “Groovy Kind of Love”. I like the Mindbenders version. This country version is bending my brain…You know when Paula tells people they’re pretty, they suck.
Asia’h Epperson: With a name like this, she could be S. Epatha Merkerson…I can’t even comment on this. She’s off, out of time…off key…she’s taking another little piece of my life I’ll never get back. I totally disagree with the judges.
Ramiele Malubay: She looks a little like Paula..you know, just as tall. Nobody that short should sing Dusty Springfield. I don’t believe her.
Syesha Mercado: Ok, she bothers me. She’s been in Ford commercials (check out www.votefortheworst.com for the story and video) and she has an attitude. As one of my faithful readers observed, she doesn’t have a forehead, she has a “10-head.”
Carly Smithson: Check out http://blog.mattgoyer.com/stories/2002/02/21/popSingerFailsToStrikeAChordDespiteTheMillionsSpentByMCA.html for reasons not to like her. The Shadow of your Smile…are eclipsed by the bags under her eyes. With those teeth, I don’t want to see her smile too much. And what about her husband, the Illustrated Man? She wasn’t bad tonight. Just keep her teeth hidden.
Once again…a very disappointing crop of semi-professionals.
And in about 5 minutes…I’ll watch the results.
For now…enjoy The Byrds.

And now...your American Idol Top Twelve Boys...
Back by popular demand…my American Idol reviews.
It’s 60s night!!! Righteous. Brings me back to college in Amherst, listening to WDRC, “Big D 103, 102.9 on your FM dial” out of Hartford. Playing the hits of your youth. But now that American Idol begins…it sounds more like static as I go through the Berkshires.
As always, we hear things much differently than the judges.
Danny Hernandez…Josh says no big loss.
Chickeezee..Jacuzzi…MacandCheese…give me a break. Could be a cross between Luther Vandros and Johnny Mathis. Trying too hard to take on Simon right off. Simon’s right, he wasn’t very good.
David Cook: “So Happy Together”…I hope he’ll be happy being together with his family at home. This could be his ticket home.
Jason Yeager: He must have been 16 when he sired that kid. “Moon River”??? Andy Williams is rolling over in his grave. Oh, that’s right…he’s not dead, but after this, he might want to be. Love Johnny Mercer tunes though, and with music by Henry Mancini, you can’t go wrong…unless you sing it like this.
Robbie Carrico: “One”—he’ll be lonely, on the plane ride home. Toured with Britney Spears? Knowing her, he probably did more that “tour.” No “Three Dog Nights” for him.
I agree with Simon-this guy might be a “poser”.
As an aside, this year seems to be the year of the semi-professional. Where in the past you might have had one or two semi-pros, this year, it seems almost all of them have semi-professional experience.
David Archuleta: 17 years old. I really don’t want to like this kid. But I can’t help myself. I cannot stand Smokey Robinson, but this kid worked it out. Like him. Paula will love his cuteness…He is no “Chicken Little”.
Danny Noriega: Should it be “Danni”? He’s a “2 face”; very puzzling. I’m with Simon: what the hell is Paula saying?
Actually, I think he’s lip-synching. Seriously. He was walking down stairs while sinking, and there wasn’t even a deviation in his tone. He just ain’t good enough to pull that off.
Luke Menard: Love Harry Nilson!!!!!! Unfortunately, for all viewers, this isn’t him. Paula just can’t spit out English.
Colton Berry/Ellen DeGeneres: Also, separated at birth from Boris Becker.
Much better Elvis song than Jailhouse Rock. “Ellen does Elvis!”
OMG! His father looks like Robert DeNiro; he was giving Simon the “You talkin’ to me” look.
Leif Garrett Haley: Weird looking. Second career brewing in the next “Nightmare on Elm Street” movie. Geez, Simon and I are kindred spirits…
Oddly, he dresses like he’s from “Children of the Corn” but he’s singing a love ballad. Makes sense, if he’s Slingblade.
I like Neil Sedaka. Goes along with my thing for Carole King and Brill Building music. Saw Sedaka a few years ago, and he hasn’t lost a thing. Can’t say the same for Leif. Not sure he ever had it, and there’s an apparent reason they hadn’t focused on him in the preliminaries.
Jason Castro: WTF!!!??? Dreadlocks! That’s a look I need to adopt. With that hair he looks like some alien from Star Wars.
Surprisingly good. The Lovin’ Spoonfuls makes comeback. Like the “clap.”
Michael Johns: I didn’t like that audition with “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The guy looks like Jim Morrison a little. Too bad he doesn’t sound like him at all. This was a very poor audition from a guy who showed promise. Randy’s deaf, Paula’s blind…and I have to disagree with my brother Simon. This one didn’t do it for me.

Okay, now just one more thing...
Is there anyone now who thinks the Congressional Hearing for Clemens isn’t a bag job? He’s going to Capital Hill a few days a week, signing autographs and posing for pictures, and you expect the committee members to attack him? Damn, they’ll be serving him cocktails. Henry Waxman could be sticking a needle of HGH in Clemens’ ass at the table in chambers and they would believe it if Clemens said he’s never done anything but B1-12 and Lidocaine.
I had higher hopes, frankly, but why should I? This is Congress we’re talking about. Now, given the behavior of everyone involved, I fully expect them to treat Clemens like a king and McNamee like the court jester. Once they waived off Andy Pettite, claiming he has nothing to add, I knew this was a bag job. Nothing to add???!!! He’s the one guy who trained most with Clemens and has admitted taking HGH from McNamee during their three-way relationship, and Congress says “he’s got nothing to add.” He can testify to Roger getting it in the ass...and I mean the HGH of course.
What do you call 450 troglodytic half-wits in a room?
The House of Representatives.
Ladies and Gentlemen…Mark Russell…

Just a few more things...
Opening American Idol with Brooke, singing Carole King’s “Beautiful” from one of the greatest albums ever-“Tapestry”-gave me hope that there might be something in this season, even if she hasn’t ever seen an “R”-rated movie.
If anyone doubts Carole King’s greatness, and place in musical history, besides her own hits off of “Tapestry”, check out these hits she wrote, just to name a few, made famous by other artists:
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (The Shirelles)
Take Good Care of my Baby (Bobby Vee)
The Locomotion (Little Eva)
One Fine Day (The Chiffons)
Pleasant Valley Sunday (The Monkees, or whatever studio musicians were pretending to be the Monkees)
Up on the Roof (The Drifters)
You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Women (Aretha Franklin)
Hi-De-Ho (Blood, Sweat & Tears)
You’ve Got a Friend (James Taylor)
Sooooooooooooooo, Amy Winehouse…why bother going to rehab, because you’ll never rise to this level!
Special shout out to my fellow Massachusetts alum, Natalie Cole, who, no doubt after reading my post yesterday, came out and trashed Winehouse.
Speaking of “R”-rated movies, I need to get back to “Rambo” for a moment. My favorite part-Ken Howard, a/k/a “The White Shadow”, shows up in a brief cameo. He plays a “Pastor” from Colorado. I’ll tell you, I half expected to see Salami and Goldstein tossing the “rock” around while some funky saxophone-guitar riff is playing in the background-just what Rambo and Burma needs! Throw in Coolidge, and Haywood with that funky hat, and that’s a recipe for success.
Just needed to share.
Enjoy Darlene Love ladies and gentlemen…
