Perhaps if you read the full article, I deserve a tad more credit than you gave me? Why must you hide you name and employment behind "Anonymous?" <br /><br />I was fortunate to be one of the judges of 7 tasty categories, and put the results that I had as I left,on my blog. I did not judge the Chefs Competition. I asked for those results, and still do not yet have those results. Glad you as a restaurant "insider" got them, and provided them, if curiously ONLY for your own restaurant! <br /><br />A little birdie has told me that you truly are a "frequent diner" at your restaurant- That's easy, as you are employed there, and have a hand in its website! <br /><br />My blog report gives credit to many of the people at this wonderful day's event. I do not get paid for this. You are so hurt about only mentioning your restaurant three times. <br /><br />Sorry, too that you "feel (your place) deserved more attention than (I) gave them". Three mentions by me of your restaurant? Hey, it is ONE of some 20 OTHER restaurants who participated, and cooked in the 94 degree heat. Do these hard workers not deserve credit for their work, too? <br /> Cut me a break!<br /><br />How about a "thank you" for my words and photos, which give public credit to organizers, dancers and other restaurants. How about credit that I was the first to post on the event, after it occurred? Hello! Really, there were more people and events to write about, than just crowing on and on as you do about your own employer-restaurant. Me thinks you doth protest too much!<br /> <br /> When the other Competition results come out, I'm sure you will have them on your website. <br /><br />I thank you for writing. Congratulations to your restaurant's chefs, and to the other great chefs at the event.<br /><br /> Thank you to so many volunteers, the Chamber of Commerce, and so many families who braved the heat, making a successful and wonderful Fathers' Day, and 14th Taste of the Beach!Ivan Seligmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997378042528741874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989543580491980109.post-80070910028781533822009-06-22T11:27:15.153-04:002009-06-22T11:27:15.153-04:00What a pity you failed to give kudos where they we...What a pity you failed to give kudos where they were most deserved. Did you miss Bayfront Bistro? Won 5 awards including Best Beef (you did say), Best Fish (also), Best Appetizer (scallops), Best Entree (Lollipop Lambchops)and Best of Show! They won two of the three Chef's Competition categories. As a frequent diner at Bayfront Bistro I felt they deserved more attention than you gave them. It's a wonderful place with spectacular waterfront dining and incredible interiour design. You should try it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
