[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so underwhelmed by places like Inn at Little Washington. They're nice enough, but they never really do anything for me. I always feel like I'm supposed to like it just because it's fancy and expensive.

I like a good lobster and steamed clams at a picnic table on a dock overlooking a harbor in New England, or a pulled pork sandwich at a dive BBQ joint in North Carolina. Stuff like that. [/quote]

That's so cliched though...[/quote]

What is "cliched" about eating lobster in New England or pulled pork at a BBQ place? Should you have BBQ in New England and the lobster at the BBQ joint? Would it be better to have the pulled pork sandwich "deconstructed" and served at 10x the price? The pp clearly enjoys simple food prepared well rather than overly fancy food in a pretentious atmosphere. Nothing wrong with that.[/quote]

Np here.  Whether it's cliched or not to eat lobster in New England or bbq in NC, it is certainly expected.   Weirdly enough, and this is just an observation on my part, I think that the gulf coast of Fl has better bbq than OBX NC does.  [/quote]

I just, and this is my personal opinion, think it's very "special snowflake" to claim that you hate expensive restaurants and prefer cheap joints.

It's very, "if you like Pina Coladas..."[/quote]

Bahaha.  Love the Escape reference.

It also shows a really unrefined palate. I can appreciate the food the original poster described, but if you can seriously go to places that are renowned for having incredible food, where people go who actually get PAID to review and mark food and have food the offerings to be exceptional... well, it's quite likely that your palate is not very refined.[/quote]
