    I'm not sure I understand what, if anything, would make Jeff a POS here? The fact that he "competes" in writing about food? :confused:

    He was never a writer on "food." Jeff never cared about it. And that is fine.

    I'm a food historian. Dude has gone to his wife to cancel me on Houston Press, Eater, Thrillest, and others BC you are a POS.

    I'd love to do any challenge with this ass.

    Well, he's just calling himself that. People have actual degrees in that stuff, cultural anthropology and whatnot, do actual research and study, and are typically published in places other than restaurant review websites and sports bbs's. Like say...this lady: http://www.rachellaudan.com/

    I'm about to be away from the bbs until Sunday night and I'm sad to be missing the developments, however short-lived, in this thread. Quality entertainment. Like when a clown dies.

    Not really a fan of food reviews. It's entirely subjective. Better to sample a food yourself than read about someone else sampling that food and telling you how to feel about it.

    You could challenge Jeff to food critic stuff right after your debate with Batman Jones

    this guy has to be the biggest loser on this site. To make matters worse, he doesn't have the slightest idea

    You think it's personal that he suddenly wants to now?

    b****ing about someone blocking you on social media is about as alpha as bragging about hanging out with your ex-gf, and banging married women. Keep doing you, Fatty.

    Exactly what I thought.

    Sounds like high school drama.

    Some sandwiches are good and some are bad. A good sandwich can be quite delightful.

    Hey Fatty -- could you please post links to a couple of your food reviews? If it's okay with you, I would like to do an evaluation of your reviews vs. Jeff's and then let you know whose I find more informative and/or entertaining. You seem like an easygoing guy who would be okay with this. If not, though, no worries. I promise my reviews will be unbiased as I have no skin in this game.
