Can you screenshot it? I don’t have an IG account and thus can’t see the post. Thanks!

That podcast has gotta be 2 or 3 years old at this point so bringing it up now is some top notch hating. Hope his 2024 brings a bit more joy to his life.

Calling grilled meat “barbecue” isn’t very professional.

What the connection to FTC?
I listen to very little Chang Casts but I did that one because we discussed it here and it put Hamlet’s Kitchen on my rotation.

Just that he referenced another FTC poster

Do many people use IG reels like that? I never read a segmented rant like that before. And I do not feel better for having done so.

Not any I follow, except Bill :man_shrugging: but maybe in some perverse way that’s why I’m following :joy:

This one is awkward for me, because I like Euno. He’s a nice guy. But, I am pleased that Bill pointed out Josh Lurie’s coverage (let alone Bill Addison’s). He’s absolutely right, because Josh was covering these places in Glendale several years ago, when few - if any - others were writing about them. I asked Josh for recommendations years ago.

I’ve also asked Bill for specific recommendations and they’ve always been spot on and solid. Exactly what I was looking for.

Max Shapiro’s restaurant reviews. Also the Sqirl jamgate guy.

Bill was really awesome when I asked for help prior to a visit to Mexico City many years ago. And his info was mind-blowing, when he started posting on chowhound.
OTOH, it is also undeniable that his candidness, and style, steps on (more than a few) toes and ruffles many a feather.

Yeah he’s always been really nice and gracious when I reach out to him directly. However, his online persona is kind of all over the place.
