About this blog
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.
He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.

A direct attack on his masculinity.

Jeter, who?
Posted by: Robert (the Single One)from D@L | May 24, 2008 8:28 PM
I like. It is more refined than comments I heard directed toward Tom Brady last time I was at a Jets/Pats game. Also, no man should drink wine coolers. Even if you did it in the 80s, just stop. And don't drink your mixed drink out of the little red mixer straw.
You have a beautiful name. EL

I'll comment on this tomorrow, but right now I'm still coming down from a three day Zima binge.

No civilized person should drink wine coolers.

I should be concerned, how? Jeter = Bret Favre? NOT
Sessa infiltrates the Sandbox?
Posted by: Piano Rob | May 24, 2008 10:34 PM
I love it LOL what would ya expect from the new york skankies LOL
Posted by: Jackie | May 25, 2008 12:15 AM
Okay, so he's a sport figure of some sort and as OMG says this is a slur on his masculinity. This will never do. In America, Sports Gods can do no wrong (or be other than heterosexual.) Murder, drug dealing, I'm guessing even selling child pornography is not beyond the pale for an American Sports Gods.
Posted by: Robert (the Single One) | May 25, 2008 1:54 AM
BTW, this should liven up the holiday week-end. Especially if the knuckle draggers from the sports section come over.
Posted by: Robert (the Single One) | May 25, 2008 1:57 AM
Let me be more clear, this is clearly an assault on his hetero-ness, in a childish sort of way. Implications are that he is a wuss, a little girl, a lady-man, etc. Don't you think wine cooler is a little dated? How about Derek Jeter sips cosmos with a straw?
Posted by: OMG | May 25, 2008 11:18 AM
Whoa, maybe the bumber stick means Michael Jeter the flamboyant comic actor. But then present tense would be a mistake.

I googled "Jeter drinks wine coolers" and there seems to be a mini-economy based on that slogan: t-shirts, bumper stickers, magnets and ringtones(?). I looked for more creative hating but only found a t-shirt: "A-Rod, Mr. April ... Miss October". Clever + Sports = Null Set
Posted by: voodoopork | May 25, 2008 12:17 PM
That confirms it - like it or not, RtSO and OMG are my new best friends.
Posted by: Piano Rob | May 25, 2008 12:22 PM
RtSO, sounds like somebody didn't make The Team. Relax, it's a nice weekend. Kick back and pour yourself a nice white zinfandel and Sprite.
Posted by: OMG | May 25, 2008 2:27 PM
Or Drinks Appletini's
Posted by: Hue | May 25, 2008 2:43 PM
RTSO, I thoight that said you didn't make "Team Relax". Frankie Says Relax, Hon.

Murder, drug dealing, I'm guessing even selling child pornography is not beyond the pale for an American Sports Gods.
Don't forget dog fighting.
Posted by: Rosebud | May 25, 2008 3:44 PM
Piano Rob--you didn't call me as promised on Mother's Day. You'll need those guys as back up!
Posted by: Dahlink | May 25, 2008 3:58 PM
To make the team, you have to a) play a sport and b) try out. No to both. And yes I did forget dog fighting. Wonder which team will sign him when he's out of prison? After all, he's a good player.
Thanks PR. I will accept nomination to your friend list.
Posted by: Robert (the Single One) | May 25, 2008 7:38 PM
Sorry: After all, he's a good player. should be read dripping with scorn and sarcasm. (In case anyone missed it.)
Posted by: Robert (the Single One) | May 25, 2008 10:33 PM
You are very self-examining today RtSO. Socrates would be proud. I'm guessing you lost a bundle on the Friday night cock fights.
Posted by: OMG | May 26, 2008 12:20 AM
Sorry: After all, he's a good player. should be read dripping with scorn and sarcasm.
I did read it that way. And it is a sad comentary on society.
I care very little for professional sports and greatly dislike the mind set many pro athletes have that they are above the law and can get away with anything because of who they are.
Stop now before this turns into a rant.

Everything will be a drinking holiday one day. Eventually December 7 will be Happy Pearl Harbor Day with sushi and kamikazes. Hey we already make merriment with "kamikazes" and "Irish car bombs".
Posted by: voodoopork | May 26, 2008 2:32 PM
Dahlink - (1) I didn't get your number. (2) I didn't call my own mother until the day after Mother's Day. (3) It took you two weeks to recall that I didn't call?
I owe you a drink!
Posted by: Piano Rob | May 27, 2008 8:30 AM
Speaking of drinks, Piano Rob -- now that the holiday weekend is over, should the Sandbox be reminded about the planned D@L happy hour this Thursday at the Owl Bar?
Posted by: hmpstd | May 27, 2008 9:07 AM
Yes, indeed, hmpstd. Perhaps we could prevail upon Her Majesty to open a special post for this purpose. Sandbox Meeting 5/29, 5:30PM, Owl Bar at the Belvedere, Charles and Chase.
Posted by: Piano Rob | May 27, 2008 9:25 AM
Piano Rob--don't worry--I'll collect some day. I didn't hassle you because my own two sons did remember to call, even though one was having final exams. Now let's hope your own mother lets you off easily!
Posted by: Dahlink | May 27, 2008 9:59 AM
Dahlink - I lucked out this year. Mother wasn't home all Mother's Day. My sister picked her up early in the AM for a ride to Chicago to pick up my niece who was home from Baghdad for two weeks. Mother was just as happy to hear from me the day after.
