* From Dave, commenting on Commenting, part trois, in which I announce I've had 900 comments:

901! Look at me! I am commenting on the comment thread!

* From Frank on an entry about whether a publicist for the restaurant had written the too-positive review for the Inner Harbor's new Fogo de Chao on Chowhound.com:

Any "glowing description of a visit to the new Fogo de Chao" is obviously spam if it's anything like the one in Atlanta.  

* From Stan, in response to a photo of almost burnt spareribs.

Wow. That is one unappetizing-looking half rack of ribs. I've seen cows struck by lightning that came out better.

* From Kathy, on a Next Sunday's review post about Watertable in the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel: 

Am I the only one who thinks Watertable is a lousy name for a restaurant ??? 

* From TS, commenting on the photo of my daughter's very empty fridge:

She has better taste in jam than she does in beer. 

* From Mark, commenting on Peppermint Ice Cream Help

So upset no one has gotten back to you yet...I need some peppermint ice cream

*From Regina, commenting on the 1,000th comment award:

congrats, Hal!  I was really coveting that prize that may or may not actually be received...lol.

* And Regina again, voting for continued coverage of both local restaurants and chains.

Now, with all that being said  remember that I am the person who thinks broasted chicken is a great dish so I might not be considered an authority in this area.

* From Liz, correcting a mistake I made:

Hopefully you can start getting something right, or maybe just go away into your tasteless culinary abyss. 

* And finally, from Rich, who doesn't know how long I've had this gig:

The fact that P.F. Chang's is on your list convinces me that you should visit a few more restaurants around this great city before blogging about them.
