Li'l Rip's Restaurant Reviews

Frankly, I have never been helped much by restaurant reviews. Either the reviewer is in the professional palate club, overly swayed by presentation, reputation, and Franz the marvelous matre' d, or is a "Country-style Reviewer" whose idea of a good meal is the Super sized Beltbuster at the local DQ. I guess I'm in the middle somewhere. I've also tried the local press' “Best Of” annuals, but they remind me of the Baseball All Star selection: popularity trumps performance. They are, in my view, worthless. So, I started writing reviews myself, to exorcise this demon of food commentary and at the same time, maybe, to help the hungry, wayfaring soul on a simple search for a good lunch, a pleasant dinner, or a cup of coffee, a book to read and a little quiet.

Faithfully Liberal

Faithfully Liberal is an open forum for politics, faith and the intersection of the two. It is dedicated to the practice of public theology as a way of calling our nation, our political and faith leaders, and all global citizens to an agenda of social justice, equality, and the proper care of humanity and the world.

While the founders of Faithfully Liberal do public theology from a Christian perspective, we know the importance of a diverse faith community and believe that all traditions have wisdom, compassion, and offer a path to God. In keeping with this belief we ask that though there may be strong disagreements, that members of the Faithfully Liberal community treat each person as they would wish to be treated.
