About That Last Post…
I’ve been thinking it over, and I’ve come to the following realization: I really don’t think that photographing each course and writing about it is for me.
Firstly, there were so many aspects of Saturday evening that I wanted to share but didn’t, simply because the post was already so damn long.
Secondly, I didn’t find it fun at all to write!
Thirdly, there are so many great sites out there that do exactly this, not to mention a plethora of writers who do a far better job and take far superior photographs — though I wonder how many were using their mother’s mother’s confusing camera from Hong Kong… Check out these four who went to WD-50 within the past three months and ate similar, if not practically identical, meals: Steve Plotnicki, Mike Czyzewski, Crow and Tina Wong.
So. Though it was an interesting exercise and while I will obviously continue writing about dining out, I seriously doubt I’ll do a photo play-by-play again. Unless I eat something really crazy, or someone requests it.

Ummm, one request for continuing restaurant play-by-plays.
Thanks!

How’s this, Mike: I promise to write about my food adventures, and I promise to post pictures, whether they are pretty or not. I also promise to do play-by-plays if I go somewhere as crazy as WD-50 again.
Deal?

Hi Nayiri, you spelled my last name wrong, it’s “Wong” not “Woong.” But thanks for the linkage.

Whoops, sorry about that! How embarrassing!

Thanks for the link and the shout out. Writing about food sometimes = dancing about architecture. Ineffables aside, it sure is fun to give it a go. I really dig your site and style — food scribez unite!
