Chow People Are Doing "Ironic Dining" at Guy Fieri's Restaurant After the New York Times Slammed It
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 2:58 PM
No. They're spending $400. NO NO NO. Then they're advising other people who are going to eat there to “Buy Ex-Lax." NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Then the other people are still eating there AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH The restaurant is “doing very well” MAKE IT STOP

That's kind of what I thought would happen. Are they then posting how terrible the experience was to their own food blogs complete with photos and diagrams?

I understand: in this department, you are one of the needy. The problem is that no one will help you with your deficit: no one gives a fnck to the needy, for their fnck-giving needs, just as in our wider society no one gives a fnck about the needy.

doesnt writing about how crazy it is to go to a 'bad' restaurant only give it more PR and more interest in the place?

I could see myself doing this. The only thing is that I would call this "Deep Mealing" instead of ironic dining. That term sounds too crass, too incurious. There's nothing I can do to tarnish the reputation of Guy Fieri that he hasn't done to himself. All I can do is ask for an interesting experience.

Hahaha lovely :D
I don't wanna be rude or anything - but this kinda points out what kind of reader base most food critics have. did they all wear ironical glasses, had a thing for suits from the 40's and talked about sour-dough bread while eating?

$400 for a table of 7. So $60 each. Still aggravating, but not as much as if it was for a table of 4.

@10, and the diner noted they ordered many, many strong drinks to compensate for the food. That probably doubled the bill.
