The Game Plan

To kick things off, I'll start with venues with which I am already familiar. I will still make visits to each for the expressed purpose of critiquing them, but my reviews will obviously be biased by my existing knowledge of these places (though usually positively, if I wish to return to them).

Though I may tackle others before these, this is my short list of venues to review:

• Athens Pizza
• Elm City Bagels
• Elm City Restaurant & Brewery‎
• Jake's 5 Star Convenience
• Lindy's Diner

Yes, I'm including a convenience store on my list. Note that the blog description includes "restaurants of all varieties," and this includes anywhere that will prepare food for me. Jake's happens to have quite the Deli, and comes highly recommended by local sandwich connoisseurs.

If anyone from the area has a request ("Gee, I've always wondered how Jim's House of Meat is, will you review it for me?"), please just let me know in a comment.
