[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Sietsema is great.  If you don't like him stick with the other reviewers in the Post.  Or the Washingtonian.[/quote]

He is friends with Jose Andres and constantly over-hypes Jaleo and MiniBar.  Hint to Tom: when the owner brings you a gratis cheese plate "that rocked my world" you're getting special treatment.

He thinks Bombay Club is something special when it's really just a faux Raj experience for the expense account set, and God help you if you're in a party of Tamils.  There are better albeit small Indian restaurants in DC.  Again, he is friends with the owner who is also the owner of frequently recommended Rasika and Bindaas.

Thinks it's cute to call the horrendously over-priced Pineapples and Pearls "P&P" as if the reader is supposed to understand.

Doesn't venture outside of DC and Bethesda... even though there's a thriving restaurant scene in the suburbs.  For instance Alexandria.  Heard of it, Tom?  The WaPo's Friday Cheap Eats does a good job of this.

His viewpoint is skewed because he himself never pays for a meal, the Post does.  Unavoidable perhaps, but he doesn't recognize it.[/quote]
