[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]There are better albeit small Indian restaurants in DC.[/b]  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]

Interested in hearing about these better Indian restaurants. I would really like to try them out![/quote]
