Re: “A beer garden in NoMo?”
What's all this NoMo business anyway? OH... are you are referring to the area AHWYCSHFATUTO ( After Huger Where You Can Score Herion From a Transvestite Under The Overpass) ? Geez I didn't realize the name had been so dramatically altered to NoMo, a little hipster pretentious but as long as there is more beer slated to be drunk up there I guess I can handle the switch.
Re: “Burwell's drops like a hot rock on the dining scene”
Perhaps taking responsibility for ill conceived cuisine and marketing choices should be the priority and not playing the blame game and disparaging a chef as talented as Jeremiah. The day a restaurant with "hot rocks" shows up on the James Beard lists then I suppose you could imagine this gimicky concept in the same league as the Maccintosh, where real cooking exists, but until then why not just strive to do a better job and not pass the buck.

Excited does not even come close to explaining my feelings about this opening!
Re: “Burwell's unveils approachable steakhouse”
I don't know if it's the odd misshapen lower market building that attracts new owners with no food knowledge and bad taste OR if the owners that attract the building but either way it seems as though ever since Vintage there is no way around the calamity. The menu reads like a culinary school students final class project and the use of hot rocks makes me want to check my calendar to ensure I wasn't teleported back to 2002. "C'est la vie money"... that's what everyone who invested should be saying right now. Two words PINEAPPLE COULIS... and done.
Re: “Xiao Bao Biscuit”
While I applaud the well needed diversity in our ethnic food scene... !#@% $14 bucks for pork butt, rice and an egg is a little offensive. And let's keep in mind we are not in a part of town where the rent should be dictating the prices. I don't care how good you can make those ingredients taste, they are still those ingredients. As someone who has cooked professionally all my life I know the product to cost ratio and frankly the quantity you get is not up to snuff either. Bummer because I was really looking forward to this place.
