hotsnack: the snackspots, they're all good

You know it's hard out here for a chef. Especially today. Somewhere, the critical hammer is dropping. People always ask me, "What do you think of this place?" "What's your favorite restaurant?" I usually relegate these opinions to live, in-person conversations. Pourquoi? Because I'm not a critic, plain and simple. But I think c'est l'heure to begin recounting (not reviewing) some of those meals and moments. Though with the caveat of only the ones I like, adding a little snack yin, to the populist yang. More snackspots on the way. They're all good.
