 DD> Roadfood is a discussion forum. Jane & Mikie jump in on subjects from

Roadfood is very Sternish, built in their own downscale
image and likeness. I've found their own reviews and the
contributions of their users to be not much better than
random, especially since the brand has had to produce in
quantity. I'm not saying that Jane and Michael started out
bad (they started out kind of mediocre plus), but they've
become the victims of their own success.

They are now, pretty much, and if they aren't, they
dumb down their content to a distressing degree.

You do know what I think about the likes of Sara Moulton,
though.

I've seen some shows and Websites that seem to attempt to
tap into the cognoscenti market, but their content has been
pretty laughable, as conjured up by people who make the Sterns
seem like Bocuse trying to reinforce their sense of classiness
with a capital K.

 DD> Title: Tomato & Zucchini Gratin

Mmm, thank you so very little.
