What They Said… 2008 Restaurant Festival Coverage (in Articles)

Check out some of our favorite local writers to read about their 2008 Restaurant Festival experience.

The Daily Local gave some excellent coverage of the event:

An open-minded columnist shares his revamped thoughts on the festival this year. Wonder how it worked how for him?

Post-event article (with the best quote EVER- I think)

Barbecue Bachelor:

Our favorite Barbecue Bachelor gave his take on a new BBQ joint to come into town; Pig Out. Sounds like it’s right up my alley.

That Blue Yak:

That Blue Yakshared his day with some of the yummy foods he had and he took some stellar pics from the crowd. We heart you… you crazy yak you.

Tikaro:

He was picked as “The BEST local blogger on the Main Line” so, of course, he covered the event happenings. John Young of Tikaro shared some details of his pre-event planning to cover the crowds with fork-tastic tattoos from his sweet side car rig.

The Kellehers:

The Kellehers gave a great report from the streets. Check out the pics and read all about it on their family blog.

Here’s some words from a jewelry vendor. Don’t know them but if they know Cupcakes Gourmet they must be good people.

Mary, thanks for linking my amazing, award winning “That Blue Yak” blog on your site again. Great festival once again and you and JT did a great job. Mission accomplished.

“This is where the awesome happens,”

You should copyright that statement. I’m humbled.

I had so much fun helping out, meeting all the Wester Chester folks and participating in this year’s Restaurant Festival. Thanks, Mary!

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
