From the Chicago Tribune:
Your biggest pet peeve about diners?
Bill [Urban Belly]: Blogging.
Graham: Yelp [a Web site where users contribute reviews].
Bill: When we opened up [Urban Belly], there were people there with their cameras right away taking shots and they are putting them on the Internet on their blogs. Now there is a race to see who is going to be first—a Yelper or LTHforum [a foodie Web site] or someone else.
Graham: There was a discussion on one site about the lighting in the restaurant and if I did it to stop the bloggers from taking pictures. I don't get it. They come in and order three courses, and it's a 10,000-word essay that includes stuff about the placement of their silverware. Why this obsession with food online? You don't see people blogging about their new shoes in the same way.
So maybe they just wanted a place where they could open up get a few regualrs from the neighborhood and take it easy and drink coffee and play with themselves all day. Im so sorry that you two benefitted from buzz on the internet."
Bill, you dumb mofo, people blog about any and everything and you would think you'd be smart enough to know how much people like food, why wouldnt they talk about? you probably dont like spors talk radio or any show where people give reviews then do yo? Go stuff yur face with a pie from Lou malnatis, haha, dont you even know where to get good pizza? you should check out LTHforum.com or even better, see if the people of Yelp! can lead you to a pie.

Hooray for blogging, the process by which any self-important narcissist with a computer can further delude themselves into thinking that their trite opinions must be heard by others. Congratulations to you for proving this stereotype to be true.
May I suggest that before you complete your next entry (which I won't bother reading), you consult spellcheck and a basic 8th grade grammar textbook, so that you don't sound like such a "dumb mofo."

agreed. the simple creation of this piece of garbage site is proof that:
a) even idiots can use photoshop
b) the 'food blog' market is officially oversaturated
and
c) bill/graham had a point
.
further:
1. 'urban belly' is not a person, it is the name of a restaurant.
2. having enough free time to post crap does not mean you have an opinion worth sharing.
3. what is your yelp name, so i can superpoke! you?
4. have you been to either of these restaurants? ever think maybe they have a right to be cocky?
One need only read this blog in order to understand what Bowles and Kim were talking about. Pure idiocy! Please learn how to construct a sentence before you subject others to your "writing!"
