More generally, I find that Sietsema has a lot more tolerance than I do for formal restaurants whose food is perhaps better in concept than on the palate.

[NB: I have been to Honey Pig and enjoyed it.] I am surprised regarding the comment that it's not often you agree with Sietsema. [NB: I enjoy his column and he's steered me to many good restaurants.] I'm curious as to what were the disappointments he's recommended or the favorites he's dismissed.<br /><br />BBFairlington Bladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476028510987727861noreply@blogger.com
