[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tom discusses DCUM in his recent chat: Q: Comments from "DC Urban Moms" Hi Tom - I'm not a regular poster in this chat, but that link to the DC Urban Moms chatroom really bothered me: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/699666.page. First off, Rasika is amazing - what are you supposed to say when a chatter asks you to recommend a great Indian restaurant in DC? Somehow name a better one? ...I'll wait. Secondly, for all of those questioning your credibility after naming Timber Pizza Company as one of your Top 10, I'd like to present you with Exhibit A: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/best-pizza-2017...or is Bon Appetit also considered not a credible source either?? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, just make sure you do your homework to avoid making empty accusations. I mean come on, how more "credible" can you get as someone with 17+ years of experience as a food critic for a nationally acclaimed news source in one of the greatest food cities in the nation? Once again...I'll wait. A: Tom Sietsema I have no problems with anyone disagreeing with me, but I think it's important to know the experience of some of my anonymous critics. Regarding Rasika, have they ever been to India? When did they last eat at the establishment? And how many times? Also -- and I may catch heat for this -- just because someone is from India doesn't make them an expert or especially discerning. They may just like what they like, or what they grew up with. [/quote] I don't understand his answer. He asks if Rasika critics have been to India, like that's a prerequisite to write about the restaurant. But at the same time, he criticizes Indians for not having discerning palates. That's obnoxious. I don't know what part of Europe he descends from, but when he criticizes a Western restaurant, I doubt people complain that he makes criticisms based on his desire for "home cooking."[/quote]
