[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a new restaurant in Vienna that Lydia hyped up beyond belief and every meal at our table (5 of us) was just ok. I’ll give a new restaurant time to get into a groove but Lydia talked about this place like both the vibe and food were outstanding. Her OneNeighborhood Foundation gets tons of attention but as someone who works with nonprofits, it seems to have very little transparency or checks and balances regarding how money is spent. I’m not saying that Lydia is knowingly doing anything improper but one person giving away donated money at their sole discretion with little reporting isn’t in the spirit of a responsible nonprofit.[/quote]

We’ve always suspected that her nonprofit is actually all profit for her and her only.

[b]And yea Carnegie sucks. It’s extremely overhyped by VF and the food is shit. [/b][/quote]

Carnegie is actually downright bad. It's huge piles of mediocre food. The limp, greasy hash browns are especially bad. My eggs were way overcooked. Yuck. And the service was dreadful.

And yes, we went in response to all of those hype-hype-hype posts on Vienna Foodies about how amazing it is.

It was so weird to me, that FB group, because I moved to Vienna from FCC this spring, and the Falls Church foodies page is normal -- and that is what I expected. Nope. Vienna Foodies seems to be just weird, aggressive advertising. That whole #doyoubelieve?!? I DO!!!! stuff is just weird. [/quote]

What is the do you believe thing?[/quote]

There is a man who posts these super-positive posts about various restaurant dishes. Its fine but he hashtags them #Doyoubelieve I Do!!!! and that part I really don't understand. Also he doesn't always say what restaurant he's talking about. He recently posted a great looking photo of some breakfast toast. But doesn't say the restaurant he went to in the post to get that dish. So that isn't especially helpful. Everywhere from Taco Bell to whatever new place in town. You'd think he'd get tired of posting but he does it every few days. [/quote]

Yea he seems …. Different. I don’t know how to say it nicely. I don’t get the hashtag thing it seems to be his weird catch phrase. How do people afford to eat at restaurants all the time too?[/quote]
