batraveler, how do you keep track of everything? Do you secretly take notes during dinner?

Both my husband and I tried to memorize everything we could but the report is lengthy so of course that is not possible. My husband used his blackberry - everyone seems to be using blackberries and...

Could be a job for Gordon Ramsey! Does anyone watch "Kitchen Nightmares"-either the original UK version on BBCA or the new US version on Fox?
View ArticleRe: I'm Kind of in the Secret Service
I watch both versions of the show. I am starting to have second thoughts about watching, though, because now I'm starting to have second thoughts about eating in restaurants.

Last evening when we went to the restaurant there was a sign saying it was closed!! Very, very interesting. That immediately made me look through the windows to see whether Gordon was in there (just...

I have just proven that Canadians CAN be tough (and cheeky)! Or maybe it is just the neighbourhood... I contacted the shop agency coordinator who is looking into it. This is a restaurant that is open...

We have only been there twice - going our third time Saturday. We did go last weekend but it was closed. Going in yesterday they would not have known who we were (different staff from last time) but...

The continuation of dirty food on ground into the carpet still amazes me. It may have to do with the worker shortage in your other post!
View ArticleRe: I'm Kind of in the Secret Service
I think it was the same food/dirt as last time!! This is actually the place we went to last evening who turned us away because they were too busy and short staffed. It amazes me that people actually...

Just as a warning, I went to some websites to check on Secret Shoppers. When I clicked on one, I got a really nasty Trojan virus on my computer! After a couple of days I was able to get rid of it. It...
