"There's a reason the Washington Post is going to die before The Onion becomes one of the biggest newspapers in the country: They licked the boot, and we kicked back."

I follow a couple of lads on Instagram in New York who are visiting restaurants from every country that operate in NY.
It amazes me how amazed they are by food that has flavour.
They ask good questions though and really enjoy themselves so that’s excellent.
