a little pretentious, no?
t says: Anyone see the latest drivel to come out of LaBan’s mouth? “I’ll reset the landscape of Philly’s restaurant elite.” I’m sorry, but what? I normally like reading LaBan’s reviews because I, myself, don’t get the chance to taste every single dish on a menu – so his reviews are like scouting reports. But what arrogance this last comment exudes! He must be a Michelin inspector or James-frickin-Beard, himself! Taking yourself a little too seriously, eh? Come on. You eat food for a living. It’s not theoretical physics. It’s not fetal open heart surgery. It’s not curing cancer. It’s inserting matter in one end of a 30-foot long tube so your body can turn it into poo. So let’s all take a chill pill and a slice of humble pie and just say, “I’m coming out with a new list of top 5 restaurants … and my previous top 4 might not have made the cut. Please read my article when it comes out on 2/5, because if no one does, I may no longer have the privilege of making a living by doing something that every single other person on this planet can do. Thank you.”
