Technology is never accepted right away by purists. My philosophy: if it looks good enjoy it. If it tastes good eat it.

Which is essentially what you postulate really matters in the end, as it should. It's also another thing I love about Philadelphia; diners will choose food because it is good, not simply because it is new.Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15169498175645385251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20976192.post-4636709004407566872008-01-27T03:46:00.000-05:002008-01-27T03:46:00.000-05:00You have a very nice blog, good post...keep up the good jobsorinahttp://www.plentyoffood.net/noreply@blogger.com
