Answering your questions
The big disadvantage of auto-publishing may turn out to be something I hadn't thought of: It sometimes takes awhile until I answer your questions. I thought of that this morning when I got around to responding to Elite Elephant Lover under Monday Morning Quarterbacking, and again just now when I answered Joe B. Of course, I've never answered all the questions I get in comments because sometimes one of you comes up with a better answer if I just let the question hang there awhile. But do go back and check later if you ask something you think I'll answer.










Comments
Here's a question, more like a rehetorical question, inspired by Monday Morning Quarterbacking. In your review of the Village Square Cafe, you wrote temptingly about their gumbo, crab cakes, spaghetti & meatballs and other entrees. It made me want to give the cafe a shot. But when I clicked on their web site, none of the above dishes were listed. In fact, the dinner menu seemed to be pretty much an extension of the salads, sandwiches and pizzas served at lunch. Isn't that sort of short-sighted if a restaurant in a tough location wants to attract a dinner clientele? Feel free to answer, Ms. Large. Or not. I did say 'rhetorical.'
That is surprising. I don't have their menu, so I can't check, but what I thought was their regular dinner entrees menu must instead be something they change regularly, and therefore don't want to put online. But you're right, they ought to post something that shows their range. EL

You didn't look at the 2nd page of the menu. Go back to the website (villagesquarecafe.com), click on "Download Dinner Menu" on the homepage and scroll down to page two of the menu where the entrees are listed. Bon appetite!

rfg5705 - Village Square Cafe is making a big marketing mistake if the dinner menu is this hard to find.

You're right, rfg5705, I went back to the Village Square Cafe website -- and sure enough, next to the sandwiches was a small arrow that takes you to a page of dinner specials. I missed it. So, I suspect, would most casual surfers. As Eve points out, that's hardly inspired marketing. But who knows, maybe the restaurant's website designer will get the message and make the menu more accessible, thanks to D@L.
