Money Down The Drain

Hey Dev,

There’s nothing I hate worse than spending my hard-earned money at a restaurant I’ve never been to before, then end up feeling I’ve wasted it with bad food and poor service. Should I just stick to restaurants that I know from experience are consistently good?

Dear C.,

I sympathize with you since I’ve been to my share of hellish restaurants. But if you don’t take a gamble, then you’ll never hit the jackpot and discover a hidden gem. To increase the odds of experiencing a dinner from heaven, ask your friends if they’ve ever been to a restaurant that you were wondering about. And don’t forget to use our restaurant review and dining blog resources!
